From rugged mountain passes to coastal highways and enchanting countryside routes, scenic drives are like stepping into a real-life postcard. Beyond being just a means of transportation, scenic road trips transform into unforgettable adventures. Travel + Leisure magazine narrowed down what they say are the best scenic road trips in the U.S.
The United States has an abundance of scenic drives, each with its own unique charm. From the breathtaking California coastline to the historically rich roads of New England, these routes offer a treat for the eyes at every turn. One example is the mesmerizing 469-mile stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It winds its way past limestone caverns, crystal-clear mountain springs, and the majestic beauty of the Appalachian Mountains. Depending on the season, the views may vary, painting the landscape in ever-changing colors.
And it's not just nature that makes these drives unforgettable. Some people enjoy human-made scenic views. For instance, American architectural wonders along Chicago's famed Lake Shore Drive, like the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sears Tower), which once held the title of the world's tallest building.
Massachusetts has one of the best scenic roads for road trips
According to the travel magazine, Massachusetts has one of the best scenic roads for road trips. Making the list is Route 6. Stretching its way to Bishop, California, this scenic route weaves together Cape Cod's tapestry of sand dunes, beaches, marshes, tidal ponds, and charming fishing villages.
The travel site highlighted that you can easily trace its path to Provincetown's vibrant music festivals and art galleries. And you can head towards the bay side for family-friendly beaches. Or you can journey to the oceanside for breathtaking panoramas of the Cape Cod National Seashore. They even recommended their travel readers to book a whale-watching boat tour between May and October, as a must-try experience to witness the majestic big-winged New Englander (humpback whale).
