There are certain American road trips that eventually make it onto every traveler’s bucket list: cruising down the Pacific Coast on Highway 1, getting a taste of kitschy Americana on Route 66, and taking in the changing colors of the Blue Ridge Parkway in the fall, just to name a few.
These routes are more than just roads to get you where you need to go; they’re destinations in themselves. Pick any of the journeys below and you’ll find yourself immersed in scenic vistas, historic points of interest, national parks, small towns, and so much more.
Beartooth Highway
Nicknamed the “Highway to the Sky,” the 69-mile Beartooth Highway connects Yellowstone National Park and Red Lodge, Montana. The road passes through alpine forest and arctic tundra and delivers constant views of 12,000-foot peaks.
Blue Ridge Parkway
A drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway is equal parts journey and destination. Built on the spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the 469-mile-long road carries travelers between two popular national parks, but it’s also an attraction in its own right.
Kancamagus Highway
Traversing the White Mountain National Forest between Conway and Lincoln, New Hampshire, the Kancamagus Highway offers nearly endless opportunities to pause and enjoy views of mountains, valleys, and rivers.
Pacific Coast Highway
Highway 1 and U.S. Route 101 combine to provide an epic road trip along nearly the entirety of the West Coast of the U.S. that offers everything from beaches lined with palm trees to misty, rainforest-covered mountains.
