Results: Road Trips Will Never Be The Same Again -- The Last Of The Iconic Road Stops

Anyone who has ever set out on a road trip knows that it just is not like it used to be. Sure, the roads may be better, the convenience of those mega "rest stops" may be welcomed, and the bathrooms are plentiful, but who doesn't remember stopping at one of the many road stops, and just enjoying the view, stretching your legs and perhaps having a sandwich? No gas, sometimes no washrooms and never any wifi -- these stops were for one thing and one thing only. REST. "The Last Stop: Vanishing Relics of the American Roadside," captures a fading moment in time with photos of some of best and most iconic road stops. Here are just a few of the ones featured. First off, the one that inspired photographer Ryann Ford to put out this book:Flower Mound, Texas. He recalls being shocked to learn that the Flower Mound rest stop was about to be destroyed. "The next weekend, I drove four hours north to shoot it, and sure enough, it was demolished a few weeks later." Do you recall ever stopping here?

White Sands National Monument, New Mexico is one of the photographer's favorite rest stops, with the iconic picnic tables, straight out of the 60's and a landscape like no where else. Have you ever stopped at this one?

Monument Valley, Arizona and one of the last picnic tables in this spectacular location. "There were many more, but the rest were demolished so that a hotel overlooking the valley could be built.," Ford notes. "This table is located in a pull-off, offering a great view of 'The Mittens' rock formations in the background." Have you ever stopped there?

Lajitas, Texas is one of the most remote rest areas in the country. These tepees are hidden just outside Big Bend National Park, right on the Rio Grande. Have you ever stopped at this one?

Clines Corners, New Mexico was named for Roy E. Cline, who built a gas station and café at the intersection of US 6 and US 2 in 1934. He had to do it again three years later, when the intersection moved slightly north and the highways became Route 66 and US 285. Have you ever stopped here?

Bonneville Salt Flats, Wendover, Utah was the one stop Ford really wanted to shoot. He says, "Since beginning the project years ago, this had been at the top of my list. Once I found out that the book was a go, I made a special trip to Utah just to shoot this stop. The salt flats were magical. This has got to be one of the most incredible places in the country." Have you been to this stop?

Do you have a favorite road stop that you have encountered on your road trips, and does it still exist?
