rbull on December 8, 2004 (traveled on August 1, 1994)Acadia All American Road (ME)
Acadia's gorgeous coastal scenery offers many attractive opportunities for day hikers: Cadillac Mountain, Otter Cliffs, Jordan Pond among others. Boat trips out of Bass Harbor are...
rbull on December 8, 2004 (traveled on September 10, 1999)Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway (CA, OR)
Lassen Volcanic National Park near the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway is one of our less appreciated national parks. There are geothermal features of interest, but hikers will not want...
rbull on December 8, 2004 (traveled on May 24, 1999)Historic Columbia River Highway (OR)
If you like waterfalls -- one right after another -- you will love the old drive through the Columbia Gorge. The tallest, Multnomah, is especially impressive, but all the others along the road deserve at least a few moments. Many will also be interested in the Bonneville Dam and its fish ladders.
rbull on December 7, 2004 (traveled on June 2, 1992)Alaska's Marine Highway (AK)
No serious visit to Alaska (big cruise ships don't count) should miss the Marine Highway. You get to travel the coast like on a cruise ship, but closer up. And it's part of the...
rbull on December 7, 2004 (traveled on December 26, 2002)Blue Ridge Parkway - North Carolina (NC)
One of the finest drives in the country, the NC section of the Blue Ridge Parkway starts out in rolling country around the Virginia state line, and becomes wilder as it cuts through...
rbull on December 7, 2004 (traveled on April 23, 2003)Santa Fe Trail (CO, NM)
The NM section of the Santa Fe Trail has many sites of natural, historical, and archaeological interest. Capulin Volcano, a cinder cone standing stark against the landscape, has...
rbull on December 7, 2004 (traveled on October 10, 1995)Kaibab Plateau-North Rim Parkway (AZ)
The Kaibab Plateau-North Rim Parkway is the only way to get to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and it's a nice drive. The North Rim is much less visited than the South Rim, but...
rbull on December 7, 2004 (traveled on October 14, 1996)Beartooth Highway (MT, WY)
Starting out from Cooke City before daylight, we enjoyed the Beartooth Highway as twilight slowly revealed shapes and colors of the ranchlands along the way and the mountains above...
rbull on December 7, 2004 (traveled on August 17, 2001)North Shore Scenic Drive (MN)
North Shore Drive is not to be underestimated. One must allow plenty of time to enjoy it. It's punctuated by a series of small lakeshore state parks, all of them interesting in...
rbull on December 7, 2004 (traveled on September 13, 2003)Hells Canyon Scenic Byway (OR)
Wallowa County, Oregon, is well worth exploring. Hells Canyon is not the sharp, rugged precipices of the Grand Canyon, but round eroded heights vegetated in gold and green. Viewing...
