Columbia River Gorge: Oregon & Washington
The Columbia River Gorge carves an 80-mile canyon through the Cascade Range — the only sea-level passage through the mountain wall. Waterfalls plunge from basalt cliffs, and the Historic Columbia River Highway is one of America's earliest scenic roads.
View tour details →Overseas Highway: The Full Keys Drive
160 miles and 42 bridges connecting the Florida Keys, ending 90 miles from Cuba. Henry Flagler's railroad workers called it "Flagler's Folly" — 700 died building it. The African Queen boat is docked at Key Largo, Hemingway's six-toed cats still roam his house, and the southernmost point buoy isn't actually the southernmost point.
View tour details →Death Valley Scenic Drive
The hottest, driest, and lowest point in North America — yet Death Valley is stunningly beautiful. Multi-colored badlands, salt flats that stretch to the horizon, and sand dunes set against snow-capped peaks create a landscape of extremes.
View tour details →Going-to-the-Sun Road: Glacier National Park
A 50-mile engineering marvel carved into the mountainsides of Glacier National Park. Crossing the Continental Divide at Logan Pass, it is one of the most difficult roads ever built in the United States.
View tour details →Route 66: Chicago to Santa Monica
The Mother Road — 2,448 miles of neon signs, roadside diners, and the mythology of the American West. A multi-day journey tracing the path of Dust Bowl migrants, Beat poets, and every dreamer who ever pointed a car toward the Pacific.
View tour details →Sea-to-Sky Highway: Vancouver to Whistler
Highway 99 from Vancouver to Whistler — one of Canada's most celebrated drives. The road hugs the coast of Howe Sound, climbs past Shannon Falls, and delivers you to the Olympic resort that hosted the 2010 Winter Games.
View tour details →Tail of the Dragon: Deals Gap
318 curves in 11 miles — US Route 129 through Deals Gap is the most technically demanding stretch of public road in the eastern United States. Motorcyclists and sports car enthusiasts travel from around the world to tame the Dragon.
View tour details →Trail Ridge Road: Rocky Mountain National Park
The highest continuous paved road in the United States — climbing to 12,183 feet through Rocky Mountain National Park. Eleven miles of the road sit above treeline in a landscape of alpine tundra where plants survive winds of 200 mph.
View tour details →Natchez Trace Parkway: Nashville to Natchez
A 444-mile drive along an ancient path — from Nashville, Tennessee to Natchez, Mississippi. The Trace follows trails used by Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Natchez peoples for centuries before European explorers walked this same ground.
View tour details →Kancamagus Highway: New Hampshire's Fall Foliage
The "Kanc" — 34 miles through the White Mountain National Forest with no commercial development, no traffic lights, and arguably the finest fall foliage in New England. Named for a Penacook chief who sought peace among warring tribes.
View tour details →Pacific Coast Highway: San Francisco to Los Angeles
California's legendary coastal highway — 380 miles of sea cliffs, redwood groves, and Pacific sunsets. One of the most beautiful drives on Earth, threading between mountains and ocean along Highway 1.
View tour details →Beartooth Highway: Montana to Wyoming
Charles Kuralt called it "the most beautiful drive in America." The Beartooth Highway climbs to 10,947 feet through 20 switchbacks, passing alpine plateaus, glacial lakes, and snow-capped peaks on its way to Yellowstone.
View tour details →Million Dollar Highway: Ouray to Silverton
The most dramatic 25 miles in Colorado — clinging to cliff edges with no guardrails, climbing three mountain passes above 10,000 feet. Named for the gold ore in the roadbed — or perhaps the million dollars it cost per mile to build.
View tour details →Blue Ridge Parkway: Shenandoah to Great Smokies
America's favorite scenic drive — 469 miles along the crest of the Appalachian Mountains. No commercial vehicles, no billboards, no stoplights. Just blue-hazed ridgelines and the oldest mountains on the continent.
View tour details →Hana Highway: Maui's Road to Heaven
620 curves and 59 bridges through the lush eastern coast of Maui. The Hana Highway is a journey through tropical rainforest, plunging waterfalls, and sacred Hawaiian landscapes where time moves at island pace.
View tour details →Cabot Trail: Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
A 185-mile loop around the northern tip of Cape Breton Island — one of Canada's most spectacular coastal drives. The road climbs through the Cape Breton Highlands, plunges to fishing villages, and reveals the raw Atlantic at every turn.
View tour details →Highway 12: Utah's Scenic Byway
An All-American Road through Utah's red rock country — 124 miles connecting Bryce Canyon to Capitol Reef through petrified forests, slot canyons, and the Hogback Ridge where the road narrows to the width of a knife edge.
View tour details →Icefields Parkway: Lake Louise to Jasper
The most spectacular mountain highway in the Canadian Rockies — 144 miles through glacier-carved valleys, past turquoise lakes and ancient icefields between Banff and Jasper National Parks.
