Take a Detour into the Delightfully Weird

Giant peanuts, alien encounters, and everything in between. 8

The Scenic (Strange) Route

This week, we’re embracing the quirky side of travel where you’ll encounter towns built around giant sculptures and mysterious desert outposts that spark the imagination. There’s no shortage of oddities to discover on the open road. Whether you’re chasing legends, snapping selfies with bizarre landmarks, or just shaking up your usual route, a little weirdness makes any RV adventure even better.

Roadside Wonders

Why stick to the highway when you could pull over for a giant ball of twine, a house shaped like a shoe, or a UFO crash site?

Strange is the Main Attraction

These destinations are like stepping into another world—think glowworm caves, underwater cities, and naturally flaming hillsides. Some are beautiful, some are bizarre, but none are forgettable.

If you’ve ever dreamed of spotting a UFO—or just want to visit a place where the strange is celebrated—Roswell, New Mexico, is a must. Known for the infamous 1947 “crash” and decades of extraterrestrial buzz, this desert town leans into its out-of-this-world reputation with museums, murals, and full-on alien festivals. If you’re a true believer or just along for the ride, Roswell has something for everyone.
