In the United States, Memorial Day is the unofficial kickoff for summer. Stop by any cookout or barbeque today, and you'll likely be asked by friends or family members what your travel plans are for the summer. It seems the season is nearly synonymous with travel. With the sunshine comes plenty of daydreaming about seaside vacations, nights camping under the stars, days off to visit friends and family and (of course) the quintessential road trip. Search "road trip" on video websites such as YouTube and Vimeo and you'll find thousands of videos, each plotting more points on a map than the next. But instead of showing a time-lapse film of an epic trip, here's a video of one of the most archetypal destinations on an American road trip – Monument Valley, Arizona. Watch to see road trippers soaking in the landscape. There really isn't a better way to get motivated to start planning a road trip of your own.
