[quote=Anonymous]In general, National parks are great stops.
I did approx. the same drive with my (then) 16 year old son a few years ago--we started in San Diego and drove to No Virginia.
Going from LA to NM, you can basically follow route 66 with some deviations for site seeing, before heading more north to Denver.

If you haven't already been to Joshua tree, it's a great stop on the way.   It will be very hot, but the park is particularly beautiful at sunrise and sunset.  I loved being at the cholla cactus garden at sunrise!

Black Canyon of the Gunnison is a less-known national park in Colorado.  It's gorgeous.   You can drive to the bottom but you'll want a smaller car (no RVs or trailers, etc.) for that.   You can "hike" to the bottom too but from what I've read, it's pretty rough and I believe you need permits in advance.

From Denver to St. Louis you will drive through Kansas. A couple summers ago, I was out that way and saw little Jerusalem state park. I enjoyed it, but you probably wouldn't want to go way out of your way for it.     https://www.travelks.com/things-to-do/parks-and-nature/state-parks/little-jerusalem/

If you go close to Hutchinson, Cosmosphere is an incredible space museum and Strataca is a salt mine that you can tour.
