Worthy Detours tells you about.....

"Cool places off the beaten path" that

are worth your time to stop during 

one-day excursions, road trips, or when fulfilling your bucket list.

Worthy Detours Travel Blog is about cool  places to sleep, places to eat, and things to do while traveling.

Thus far, we have visited 39 of the 50 states + Washington, DC but are just now starting to write about our experiences.  You can read about our “Worthy Detours” and explore by region, state, or category, then decide where you want to travel next!
