America's Top Road Trips

America's Top Road Trips that you can experience in your new vehicle!

Pacific Coast Highway, CA

A drive down the PCH wouldn't be complete without a stop in the charming coastal town of Monterey. It's home to Monterey Bay Aquarium; take your time exploring the massive facility because it's one of the country's best—then check in to Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa for the night.

Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier National Park, Montana

This 50-mile road in northwest Montana is a National Historic Landmark and cuts Glacier National Park in half. The two-lane, east-west drive takes you through the variety of landscapes that the park is famous for—from forests and lakes to glacial-covered mountain peaks and deep ravines. Along the way, there's a good chance you'll spot bighorn sheep, mountain goats and other wildlife.

Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia and North Carolina

For prime photo ops, drive the Blue Ridge Parkway during the fall. The foliage starts to turn at the end of September, and colors are at their most vibrant in October.

Olympic Peninsula, Washington

Start off on Highway 101 in Seattle for this 330-mile loop around the Olympic Peninsula to take in the picturesque shorelines and waterfalls of Washington state, as well as the snow-capped peaks of the Olympic Mountains, and even the Hoh and Quinault rainforests.

Brandywine Valley, Pennsylvania and Delaware

Located between southern Pennsylvania and northern Delaware, this 12-mile stretch from Kennett Square, Pa. to Wilmington, Del. may be the shortest of our trips, but it's no less worthy of a drive. Routes 100 and 52 wind through the scenic country of the Brandywine Valley that once was home to the über-rich American aristocracy of the 20th-century, and the roads are still lined with their summer estates, including the 982-acre residence owned by the late Henry Francis du Pont.

Cape Cod, Massachusetts

This 40-mile trip that winds through Cape Cod on Route 6A will take you past a variety of quaint East Coast towns—think Sandwich, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Brewster and Orleans—so you can explore the historic charm of the area.

Columbia River Highway, Oregon

Construction began on Oregon's historic Columbia River Highway in 1913—it was considered one of the greatest engineering feats at that time. Today the highway is a National Historic Landmark and offers drivers spectacular views of the area's waterfalls, including Multnomah Falls, and numerous overlooks along the Columbia River Gorge.

Red Rock Country, AZ

Begin your Arizona adventure relaxing at Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star The Canyon Suites at The Phoenician in Phoenix. Then hit the road for this 100-mile drive on Interstate 17 north to see the Montezuma Castle National Monument, an impressively preserved ancient cliff dwelling. Next follow State Route 179 north (it's also known as the Red Rock Scenic Byway) to Sedona and visit the Slide Rock State Park where you can slide down the natural waterslides carved into the rock.
