We will be traveling from Los Angeles, California this Aug. going to see family. But on the way there I would like to stop at in between places to take the grandkids. Are last stop would be El Paso, Texas. Arizona has the Grand Canyon but do to the situation that's happing right now my husband doesn't like the idea of us going there so that lives it out. And New Mexico well I know they have the Carlsbad Caverns. So what else is there to see?
