The freedom of having your own vehicle and the open road is something you rarely get to experience on other types of holidays. Each day will\u00a0be vastly different, and with no one telling you what to do, it&#8217;s easy to make a great road trip out of any amount of time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">Many things can make a fantastic road trip, and everyone&#8217;s opinion differs on what these are. But whether you&#8217;re looking for breathtaking mountain landscapes, impressive coastlines, rich historical landmarks, or just simply roads that are thrilling to drive, the U.S. has it all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">We&#8217;ve put together some of the best roads you have to\u00a0<a style=\"color: #3399ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goodsearch.com\/north-america-car-rental-deals\" target=\"_blank\">drive in the U.S.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #7ad39d;\"><strong>Route 1<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/27882987282_99d22e5fab_z.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1475\" src=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/27882987282_99d22e5fab_z.jpg\" alt=\"Creative Commons Flickr Credit: Kai Lehmann\" width=\"640\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/27882987282_99d22e5fab_z.jpg 640w, http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/27882987282_99d22e5fab_z-300x186.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Image via\u00a0<a style=\"color: #3399ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kailehmann\/27882987282\/sizes\/l\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Flickr<\/span><\/a>\u00a0by Kai Lehmann<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">This is probably the road that first jumps to mind when you think of American road trips. I&#8217;ve done it recently myself, and it does not disappoint. Running along\u00a0the majority of the California Pacific Coast, this road provides you with a variety of stunning coastline views and fabulous beaches, as well as and some of the most famous cities in the United States.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #7ad39d;\"><strong>Route 12<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">This 124-mile road reaches heights of 9.000 feet while travelling between Capitol Reef National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. This is a road for the mountains lovers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">Densely forested areas give way to the bald mountains around the city of\u00a0<a style=\"color: #3399ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.visitutah.com\/places-to-go\/cities-and-towns\/boulder\" target=\"_blank\">Boulder<\/a>\u00a0before following a narrow ridge across the red canyons of the Grand Staircase Escalante, a large U.S. national monument protected area.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #7ad39d;\"><strong>Going-to-the-Sun Road<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/5908528592_54e2ff387e_z.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1476\" src=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/5908528592_54e2ff387e_z.jpg\" alt=\"Creative Commons Flickr Credit:  Jeremy Bronson\" width=\"640\" height=\"423\" srcset=\"http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/5908528592_54e2ff387e_z.jpg 640w, http:\/\/noplacetobe.com\/featured\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/5908528592_54e2ff387e_z-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Image via\u00a0<a style=\"color: #3399ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jbrons\/5908528592\/sizes\/m\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\">Flickr<\/span><\/a>\u00a0by Jeremy Bronson<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">Not only does this road boast an incredible name, but it has the scenery and attractions to back it up. This 50-mile road sits within the Rocky Mountains and the Glacier National Park in Montana. One of the road&#8217;s biggest appeals is that it crosses the Continental Divide at Logan Pass, a popular starting point for hiking and backpacking trips.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">The unusual name comes from the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #3399ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/climbglacier.com\/the-books\/going-to-the-sun-mountain\/\" target=\"_blank\">Going-to-the-Sun Mountain<\/a>, which dominates the view from Logan Pass.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #7ad39d;\"><strong>Tail of the Dragon<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">Sticking with great names, next up is Tail of the Dragon. We&#8217;ve looked at roads with impressive coastlines, mountains, and natural importance, so now it&#8217;s time for something for the thrill-seekers. This is a road for the driving fanatics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #444444; text-align: justify;\">Although only 11 miles long, this popular road has a staggering 318 curves to navigate. Despite bordering the Great Smoky Mountains and Cherokee National Forest, this road will not allow for much sightseeing. Both eyes will be\u00a0firmly set on the road as you compete with sports cars and motorbikes to make the most of the Tail of the Dragon experience.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #444444;\">Unfortunately, there are many things you can&#8217;t control when planning a\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"color: #3399ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goodsearch.com\/budget-rent-a-car\/coupons\" target=\"_blank\">road trip in the U.S<\/a><span style=\"color: #444444;\">. \u00a0You&#8217;re always at the mercy of the weather, especially in some of the high mountain roads we&#8217;ve covered.
