You can spend a lifetime traveling across the US and just barely scratch the surface. Stunning national parks, dynamic cities, sprawling farmland, and massive lakes are united under this country, just waiting to be explored. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best way to see the country is on a great American road trip. From the iconic Route 66<\/strong> to the enchanting Blue Ridge Parkway<\/strong>, there are countless paths that connect the country’s top attractions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan your next adventure now with our list of the top 10 best road trips in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Route 66 (Chicago to Los Angeles)<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Average Time: <\/strong>14 days, 2,448 miles<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience the quintessential American road trip along Route 66, spanning from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California. This historic highway is symbolic of American freedom and has been featured in countless movies and books. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally commissioned in 1926, Route 66 played a significant role in the westward migration during the Dust Bowl era. Today, remnants of its past can still be seen in the form of nostalgic roadside diners and vintage motels. Along the way, keep an eye out for unique art installations and sculptures, such as Cadillac Ranch and Blue Whale of Catoosa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Pacific Coast Highway (California)<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Average Time<\/strong>: 7-10 days, 1,650 miles<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the Pacific Coast Highway isn’t already on your bucket list, now’s the time to add it. This dreamy route travels up the rugged California coastline, with charming seaside towns, panoramic ocean views, and dramatic cliffs at every turn. Much like Route 66, this route has been featured in many films, including La La Land<\/em> and Into the Wild<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many ways to plan a road trip around the Pacific Coast Highway, but most travelers start in San Francisco and end in either <\/strong>Los Angeles<\/strong><\/a> or <\/strong>San Diego<\/strong><\/a>. Along the way, make sure to stop at Big Sur<\/strong> for some panoramic ocean views, and Monterey, home to the famous Cannery Row <\/strong>and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For an even longer trip<\/em><\/strong>, you can start in Seattle and cruise through Washington and Oregon before reaching the California coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
