Patchword Parkway,
Utah

Delve deep into history by driving along this ancient road once used by Native
Americans and then the pioneers. Historic towns and sites dot this 51 mile
stretch of road and with a number of beautiful peaks and viewpoints overlooking
lava fields, canyons, and lakes that you won’t want to miss!

Pacific Coast
Highway, California

Teetering on the edge of dramatic cliffs and beautiful
ocean views, the PCH is best taken in spring and in the early summer months to
get the full dazzling panoramic view when speeding by. However, be sure to take
your turns slowly as the road has many sharp turns with steep drops—a major
danger for truck drivers.

Going-to-the-Sun
Road, Montana

With a name like that, how could you not want to take this short 52-mile
stretch for a test drive? Cutting through Glacier National Park, the road
passes through a wide range of landscapes from valleys, tundra, forest, and
lakes where you can see actual glaciers drifting slowly by. This road is only
open from June through early fall.

San Juan Skyway,
Colorado

233 miles through the lush San Juan National Forest is a
“road to the sky.” Get views of beautiful white alpine forests and snowcapped
mountains in the winter and endless fields of wildflowers and mountain
waterfalls in the spring and summer. You can’t go wrong with this 5-hour nature
drive.

Finger Lakes
Region, New York

Lush vineyards, dazzling trees, and of course the chain of 11 lakes that make
up The Finger Lakes, makes this drive a beautiful setting in the spring and
fall. With quaint towns, non-industrial farmland, and lakefront homes, the
rustic views here are an instant pleaser for all drivers.
