This trip is grand indeed, taking you on a spectacularly scenic journey through two states. The Columbia River Gorge—carved through volcanic rock by the mighty Columbia River—is an 80-mile stretch of towering basalt cliffs and sweeping panoramic views, while Mount Rainier National Park is dominated by its towering, ice-capped namesake, an iconic Northwest landmark.

Road Trips

National Capital Road Trip

American history buffs will appreciate this route that begins and ends in the nation’s capital and includes two nearby Virginia locations—Leesburg and Mount Vernon—that played prominent roles in the early days of a new nation. A scenic bonus is the rolling northern Virginia countryside, at its best in spring and again during fall foliage season in October.

Road Trips

Skyline Drive Road Trip

Roll down your windows for a better view of the wildflowers and wildlife as you cruise along Skyline Drive in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park. There’s a $15 fee to enter, but the 105-mile-long road offers 75 overlooks from point to point, and there are 200,000 acres to explore. Just don’t be in a hurry: the speed limit is 35 mph.

Road Trips

Hudson Valley Road Trip

A favorite trip for Manhattanites eager to swap traffic noise and asphalt for birdsong and tree-lined byways, this Hudson River Valley tour is as much of an escape route as it is a scenic drive. Wealthy elites of a century ago knew it and built palatial estates here. The area’s beauty even inspired a movement in landscape painting. No doubt it will inspire you, too.

Road Trips

A1A Historic Coastal Byway Road Trip

With the Atlantic Ocean and miles of beaches mere footsteps away, the world is your oyster.

Coast past beaches and seaside towns; stop anywhere for a beach break. The sun meets the ocean at dawn and dusk, creating sublime views.

Road Trips

Pennsylvania's Historic National Road Road Trip

The National Road (US 40) runs from Maryland to Illinois and was the nation’s first federally funded road. This 2-hour trip showcases the southwestern Pennsylvania section. The route’s history and natural beauty together create a scenic and interesting journey. For instance, you’ll pass Fort Necessity National Battlefield, which marked the start of the French and Indian War.

Road Trips

North Las Vegas Boulevard Road Trip

Road Trips

Mount Washington Scenic Road Road Trip

Seasonal route: The road is subject to closure in winter. Extreme weather conditions, steep grades, sharp curves and a lack of guardrails make every mile an adventure on the road to the Northeast's highest peak. On clear days frequent turnouts reward brave drivers and passengers with awe-inspiring views; there's nothing quite like the panorama from Mount Washington's 6,288-foot summit.

Road Trips

George Washington National Forest Scenic Highway Road Trip

Flanked by trees, the George Washington National Forest Scenic Highway from Lexington, Va., to the West Virginia border takes you past sharp mountain slopes and the Jackson River.
