Top-10 most beautiful roads of the USA

Everyone should take on their “great road adventure” at least once in their life. Or better yet, a few adventures. The picturesque ocean coast, rocky hills, lush forests, bustling cities and secluded villages - the most beautiful roads in the USA have been selected for you. Go!

Route 66

The 66 highway, also known as the Will Rogers Highway, is one of the oldest numbered roads in the United States. She stretched from Chicago to Santa Monica in Los Angeles, crossing states such as Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Its length is almost four thousand kilometers.

A wonderful soundtrack for such a trip will be the song “Route 66” performed by Chuck Berry, The Rolling Stones and Depeche Mode.

Boulevard of the Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains Boulevard is ideal for “lazy” travelers - the speed limit here is 45 miles per hour (about 73 km).

The road winds past the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia and North Carolina, connecting the Shenandoah National Park and the Great Smoky Mountains. This trip is best taken in the fall - the surrounding landscapes at this time of year are especially picturesque.

Road to the sun

If your path lies through Glacier National Park in Montana, you will have to cross the 80-kilometer road through the Rocky Mountains and the continental divide at the Logan Pass mountain pass.

Enjoy the surrounding beauty, but don't get too carried away - you and the 300-meter gap divide only a small fence.

Columbia River Highway

This picturesque historic highway in Oregon stretches nearly 121 a kilometer through the gorge of the Columbia River, connecting the towns of Trusdale and Dulles. This road was the first in America, in the design of which the goal was not only to get from point A to point B as quickly as possible, but also to enjoy the stunning scenery along the way.

On your journey through the Columbia River Highway, you will be surrounded by winding paths, waterfalls, bridges and several historical museums.

Texas Hills

A piece of land between San Antonio and Austin will surprise everyone who thinks he knows Texas. Low flat hills are dotted with small towns like Bourne, New Braunfels and Bergheim, founded mainly by German settlers, and fast highways intersect with dusty farm roads.

In the summer, be sure to try the local peaches, and in the spring admire the blue flowers of lupine.

Cape Cod

Starting your journey in the small town of Sagamor in Massachusetts, you can choose one of three highways, each of which crosses the Cape Cod Peninsula in its own way.

The sixth highway passes through the middle of the peninsula, and the 6A and 28 routes pass through the northern and southern coasts, respectively. Surrounding landscapes will take you to New England from old postcards.

Hana Highway

The small Khan settlement in Hawaii has a little over a thousand inhabitants and is considered one of the most isolated parts of the state. It is to him that this winding road leads along the northern coast of the island.

Along the way, you will find several hundred sharp turns, near 50 bridges, rainforests, fields planted with a local tarot plant, black sandy beaches and many roadside fruit shops.

1 Highway to Big Sur and Beyond

The road stretches from Monterey to San Diego along the picturesque Pacific coast of California. Its length is more than a thousand kilometers.

Approximately 20 kilometers from Carmel is the Bixby Bridge, the star of countless automotive commercials. Also visit the unusual settlement of Esalen, where there is no radio or television, and the majestic Hearst Castle Castle in San Simeon.

Bridge in florida

Unlike the rest of the listed roads, this one is almost completely surrounded by water. It stretches across the Florida Keys archipelago from Miami to the settlement of Islamorad.

Perhaps the area will seem familiar to you, if you watched, for example, “True Falsehood” with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. Well, do not forget to take on the road sunscreen, a hat and glasses, because the length of the road is almost 200 kilometers.

Big river highway

Strictly speaking, this is not even a single road, but several highways that are controlled by different states. Follow the mighty Mississippi River, heading south from Minnesota to New Orleans.

The road passes through 10 states, its length is almost four thousand kilometers. On your way you will encounter many contrasts: from small coastal villages to noisy megalopolises. The ideal companion on this trip will be Mark Twain's story collection “Life on Mississippi”.

Previously "Forum" was a list of the 25 best beaches on the east coast of Florida, around Miami - from the city of Riviera to Key Biscayne. There are places for every taste: for surfers, nudists, divers, fishermen, families with children and parties with grills. You can even see Kennedy's bunker right on the beach. Everywhere we indicated the pros and cons, the cost of parking, the presence of lifeguards and the ability to bring a dog (cats in Florida cannot be taken outside due to the potential danger to the fauna).

And we have described the most beautiful places with autumn scenery and the most dangerous cities of america.
