I do enjoy Rangely, but it is about a 12-13 hour drive from Philly, and honestly... If I am going to burn paid time off like that, it's not going to be driving. To make it worth it, you need to go for at least 5 days. Then a travel day tacked on to each end.

For me. I'd rather take the 3.5 hour flight and enjoy my favorite beach, my favorite music and my favorite food.
