Top United States Driving Experiences There are so many wonderful driving tours that it's impossible to
offer anything like a comprehensive list, but here are just a few favourites.
The dramatic Kancamagus Highway (N.H. 112) cuts through New
Hampshire's White Mountains between Lincoln and Conway. Nearby is the privately
owned Mount Washington Auto Road, to the top of one of the tallest peaks in the
east. The loop road in Maine's Acadia National Park is another beauty.
In the Mid-Atlantic, you can't beat Virginia's Skyline Drive and the Blue
Ridge Parkway, which continues south to North Carolina's Great
Smoky Mountains near Asheville.
Out West, driving doesn't get any more dramatic than it is along the California
and Oregon coasts. In the Arizona desert, the drive from Phoenix
through Prescott and Sedona includes huge red rocks and the cool oasis of Oak
Creek Canyon.
The desert's most spectacular scenery is in Monument Valley on the Arizona-Utah
border in Navajo and Hopi country and the nearby Canyonlands.
In Colorado, a driving tour of the Western Slope follows the Million Dollar
Highway (U.S. 550) across 11,008-foot Red Mountain Pass, an
unforgettable drive. The San Juan Skyway, a 236-mile circuit that crosses five
mountain passes, takes in the magnificent scenery of the San Juan Mountains,
including some wonderful Old West towns.
In Montana, the driving tour of Glacier Country puts you on
Going-to-the-Sun Road through Glacier National Park, one of the great
summertime drives in the country.
Over the border in Wyoming, the Beartooth Scenic Byway (U.S.
212) from the northern part of Yellowstone National Park east to Red Lodge
climbs over 10,947-foot Beartooth Pass, from where you can see mile upon mile
of Wyoming and Montana mountains.
