As Waterman Ormsby wrote, traveling by stagecoach across the Great Southwest was a grand adventure:

“To many Americans who travel for pleasure this route will be a favorite.

…they can travel by comfortable stages, stopping at such interesting points as they may choose for rest, and enjoying many opportunities for viewing the beautiful, the wonderful, and the sublime products of nature, which are well disposed along the entire distance.”

The Butterfield Overland Stagecoach Trail is a fun road trip to the Old West that includes the Gateway Arch, San Antonio River Walk and California Wine Country.
