5 Classic American Road Trips Everyone Should Take
From Route 66 to the Pacific Coast Highway, the drives that define the American dream.
Few things feel more American than an open road, a full tank and a great playlist.
Route 66 runs from Chicago to Santa Monica through diners, ghost towns and desert sunsets. The Pacific Coast Highway hugs California’s cliffs from San Francisco to Big Sur and beyond.
The Blue Ridge Parkway is pure fall magic, Utah’s Mighty Five national parks deliver otherworldly red rock, and the Overseas Highway hops across the Florida Keys over turquoise water.
