California's SR 1, also called the Pacific Coast Highway, is one of the most scenic drives in the nation. Stunning ocean vistas all but define this coastal route. Don't drive SR 1 if you're in a hurry (that's what I-5 is for). Most of this nearly 656-mile-long roadway is two lanes, narrow and winding, which means you'll want to slow down and admire the many gorgeous views.

Road Trips

Smoky Mountains Road Trip

A trip through the Great Smoky Mountains and the cities straddling the sinuous Tennessee-North Carolina border offers a surprise around every turn. The curvy roads were made for lollygaggers, not the impatient, for those who stop to dawdle and gaze, breathing in the fragrance of rhododendron in the spring and soaking up brilliant colors in the fall.

Road Trips

Turquoise Trail Road Trip

New Mexico’s Turquoise Trail is an alternate way to get from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, and if you’re not in a particular hurry it’s a delightfully scenic drive. Similarly, between Santa Fe and Taos you have two route choices, and we highly recommend the High Road to Taos, an even more spectacular drive through rugged, starkly beautiful high desert country.

Road Trips

Route 66 - Eastern New Mexico Road Trip

Mostly driving I-40, this Route 66 journey across the state's eastern half boasts several pockets of well-preserved Mother Road nostalgia—from the vintage neon signs of Albuquerque to the classic roadside kitsch of Tucumcari. History buffs, take note: Prior to a 1937 realignment, the original Route 66 traveled far north of I-40 through the state capital, Santa Fe.

Road Trips

Route 66 - Western California Road Trip

Route 66 enthusiasts won’t want to miss this trip across southern California from the road’s westernmost end. You’ll leave the glittering Pacific Ocean behind, trading Los Angeles’ urban sprawl for serene scenes of small town life in the San Gabriel Valley. Echoes of the old Route 66 still exist here, from historic motor inns to retro roadside signs.

Road Trips

Inspired by Samantha Brown: Sonoma County, California Road Trip

Sonoma County, located in Northern California, gives us an amazing wine region, prominent California history, a stunning Pacific Coastline and more! Just an hour’s drive from San Francisco, this destination offers rustic charm and incredible dining options that make it a haven for foodies.

Road Trips

Santa Fe Scenic Byway Road Trip

The Santa Fe Scenic Byway is the perfect afternoon drive to just get out of town or to head out to hike, picnic or camp. The 15-mph speed limit on the two-lane SR 475 means there's no rushing around the meandering curves on your way to the top loop. If you're there in the fall, you'll be treated to the splendor of the gold aspen trees.

Road Trips

Santa Cruz Mountains Scenic Drive Road Trip

In the greater San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Cruz Mountains Scenic Drive probably wins the award for the road less traveled. Most people take the major highways - US 101 and I-280 - to get to points south. SR 1 is the scenic, leisurely coastal route. But if you're up for adventure, explore this two-lane road that meanders through the Santa Cruz Mountains to the beachside city of the same name.
