Road trips—the classic American pastime. From coast to coast, North to South, there’s something special about hitting the open road with your friends and family and discovering what this great country has to offer. But which route should you take? Where should you go? Well, we can help you out! Here’s our pick for the best road trip in the United States of America.
The Route:
We suggest starting your journey in St. Augustine, Florida and heading up the East Coast before looping through the Midwest and ending in San Francisco, California. This route takes you through nine states and covers over 4,000 miles! Along the way, you’ll pass through some of America’s most vibrant cities as well as stunning natural areas like Niagara Falls and Glacier National Park. Plus, if you want a break from driving, there are plenty of places where you can stop for a hike or a swim!
The Must-See Attractions: No road trip is complete without stopping at some of America's most iconic attractions. Start off with a visit to Kennedy Space Center in Florida where you can explore the history of space exploration and get an up-close view of a real-life rocket launch (if you're lucky!). After that, head up north to Washington D.C., where you can take pictures at the White House and explore all the monuments on top of Capitol Hill. Once in New York City, check out Times Square before catching a show on Broadway or taking a boat ride around Manhattan Island. As you make your way across the Midwest, don't forget to stop by Mount Rushmore in South Dakota for some breathtaking views before finally arriving in San Francisco – home to cable cars and Lombard Street – world-famous landmarks that will truly make your road trip experience one to remember!
So what are you waiting for? Pack your bags, hop in your car (or RV!), and hit the open road – it's time for an adventure! Whether it's hiking through Yosemite National Park or watching a sunset over Niagara Falls; eating seafood on Fisherman's Wharf or spending time with family at Disney World; this road trip will give you memories that will last a lifetime!
