Continental US air routes that require more than 2 stops?

I am attempting to find a city pair in the lower 48 states of the US that requires more than 2 stops to fly between. Does such a city pair exist, and is there a search engine that would allow me to find these?

Note: it is possible for example to fly from INL to GSO with 3 stops (MSP, MLI, and DTW) on Delta, but this doesn’t count because 2-stop itineraries also exist (MSP, DTW).

Following @ZachLipton's suggestion I found the following city pair:

Augusta, Maine (AUG) to Kirksville, Missouri (IRK). matrix.itasoftware.com only gives me options for 3 or 4 stops when flying on March 4 plus or minus 2 days. While many options are multi-airline, it can be booked through American Airlines.

How do flights with multiple stops work?

Multi-Stop Tickets By definition, a multi-stop ticket is any ticket with more than a single destination. These tickets may include connections, simply changing planes within the day at a non-destination city, but all will offer you at least a night in more than one place.
