Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway (OR)

Stopped in Gold Hill to take in a neat railroad bridge at the start of the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway. It was a blazing hot day, and these kids had their own way of cooling off!

Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway (CA, OR)

Crater Lake is a must-see stop along the Oregon section of the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway. In my recent trip, the lupines were gorgeous, the views of Wizard Island, the Phantom Ship and the "deep blue lake" were astounding, and the Rim Drive was a real white-knuckle experience! Forest fires in the area gave the air a bit of a haze.

Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway (CA, OR)

Petroglyphs at the foot of the mountain at Lava Beds National Monument are worth the side trip. Don't climb to the top of the bluff for petroglyphs, because there aren't any, but to admire the great views of Mount Shasta, Tule Lake, and the area.

Logan Canyon Scenic Byway (UT)

The fall foliage in Logan Canyon this year is simply splendid. I hiked the Crimson Trail for the first time Sunday. The day was sunny with just a little chill to keep you comfortable...

Skyline Drive (VA)

As we proceeded south toward Skyland Resort on the Skyline Drive and our night's lodging, our headlights illuminated the trees on each side, with great gaps where overlooks were. We...

Historic Bluff Country Scenic Byway (MN)

This was my second visit to the Root River valley area this year, and by far the best! The ridges, forests and farmlands were so green and blooming. I loved seeing huge blue and white...

Amish Country Byway (OH)

I would think the Amish Country Byway would be GREAT for cyclists, but we didn't see any. The wide shoulders of the roads (to accommodate the Amish buggies), the rolling hills, the...

Midland Trail (WV)

Driving through the lush green mountains of the Midland Trail was a soothing experience. All those soft green fields and looping roads. A farmhouse that appears unexpectedly around a...

A1A Scenic & Historic Coastal Byway (FL)

St. Augustine on the A1A Scenic and Historic Coastal Highway was wonderful! I wish I could have stayed longer. My group stopped there on a Thursday afternoon, after driving down the...
