The Best Road Trips in the USA
Road tripping is one of the best ways to experience all the United States has to offer, and is an ultimate bucket list item for those seeking adventure on the wide open road.
-
The Oregon Trail
Spanning 3,300 miles, The Oregon Trail is an historic road trip route. In the 1800s, the long journey westward took several months; nowadays you can make the trip in a fraction of that time by ditching the wagon and renting a car. The trail crosses through Wyoming, Nebraska, and Idaho, before ending in Oregon City. Unmissable stops along the way include Yellowstone National Park, Niagra Falls, and the cities of Boston and Chicago.
-
The Loneliest Road
The Loneliest Road route runs from West Coast to East Coast, starting in San Francisco, California, and finishing on Maryland's eastern shores of the Atlantic. The 3,200-mile route passes through 12 states and some of the country's most breathtaking landscapes, including the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains, and the land of the Great Plains. The isolated Nevada stretch of the route has been dubbed the 'Loneliest Road in America', ideal for those seeking some peace and quiet on the open road.
-
The Appalachian Trail
The Appalachian Trail is famous for being the longest hiking trail in the US, but the route can be followed by car in less than a week if you're looking to soak up the views without racking up the blisters. Boasting some of the most breathtaking natural scenery in the country, the trail starts in Maine and winds down for 2,200 miles through 14 states, before finally finishing up in Georgia.
-
The High Road to Taos
For those with a little less time to spare, The High Road to Taos spans only 105 miles and can be driven within a day, including enough time to explore the local area. The route begins in Santa Fe, the capital of the state of New Mexico, and passes through the historic mountain villages of Old Spain on the way to New Mexico's northern deserts. Only 15 miles north of Santa Fe stand the waterfalls of Nambe Pueblo, the most stunning waterfalls in the state area.
-
Route 66
From Chicago to Santa Monica, Route 66 isn't called the ultimate all-American road trip for nothing. The iconic 2,400-mile stretch has become synonymous with neon road signs, 1950s-style diners, and a nostalgia for the Americana of a bygone era. With some of the most legendary roadside scenes in the country, Route 66 today is still an unforgettable journey in the heart of the USA.
