Somehow every time I've made this drive I've screwed up and ended up driving at night...and yet somehow it was still stunning. Not a ton of diversity in it (not like you'll be going through lots of towns or residential areas), but it's still gorgeous.

This runs from Seward all the way to Anchorage; 125 miles in total. You can even catch sight of Beluga whales here. Not sure if you can see Russia, though. ;)

Known to most of us as simply "The Autobahn" this system of highways has no speed limit, although most people average about 80 mph. Again, that's MOST people.

There's a very good and sad reason this road has been nicknamed "The Road of Death".

The road has been closed for at least 5 years

you can also take a day trip out into the desert at the foot of the atlas mountains, a berber village is worth it

Not sure if it'll be a "hiking in the mountains" type trip, but good to have the option!

There are 99 turns in this 18-mile road and every one a doozy. In fact, if you zig when you should have zagged here you could be facing a 500-foot drop, so keep your eyes on the road!

Hope you like extremes. The main highway here (called the Y-50) is all gravel, the wind is like nothing you've ever experienced before, and there ain't no rest stops. That said, if you're someone who loves the open road and a heck of a challenge, you're in for quite the treat!

gorgeous. I think you're referring to a different Patagonia than the one in downtown Portland though.

So many great things to do here--from diving to ballooning to markets to their annual rhododendron festival.

This is my favorite kind of drive-seeing the fall foliage in New England. There are dozens of farms in this part of the country that have cider, pumpkins, and hay rides that are just so much fun. In fact, there's even a hotline to call to find out if the leaves have changed color yet.

Oh, would I love to do this drive! All kinds of little pubs and gardens and little fishing towns to go through. Actually thinking about doing this route next fall--going to have to learn to drive on the wrong side of the road, not to mention on a little teeny highway.

The view of this from far away is just amazing. It looks like someone took a giant chainsaw and just cut a whole city down the middle.

There are dozens of lakes here that were actually formed by glaciers and volcanos. When I say dozens, I mean more along the lines of 150 of them.

My absolutely most favorite part of the country. One thing I would caution here is that it can get really, really foggy, even during the day sometimes so make sure you know how to drive in fog. This part of the Cape has some great little hotels as well as many artists who come here to paint.

The only problem with driving here is that there are so many bison they frequently block the road.

Located about 12-miles south of Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona) in south Kona, Kealakekua Bay is a Marine Life Conservation District perfect for snorkeling, scuba diving, and kayaking. The bay's brilliant waters are filled with coral and schools of tropical fish. On occasion, you can even see Located about 12-miles south of Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona) in south Kona, Kealakekua Bay is a Marine Life Conservation District perfect for snorkeling, scuba diving, and kayaking.

If you want to stay dry, there is a picnic area to relax and enjoy this historic spot.… see moresee less

You'll literally pass golf courses, canyons, waterfalls, wildlife, and even natural ice rinks here (depending what time of year you go, of course!). Lots and lots of moose which you can see from your car!

I did the Albania-Macedonia drive last year (well, I was in the car--someone else did the driving). It's certainly a picturesque drive, although somewhat harrowing at times. If you don't mind steep drives you might want to give it a shot.

I did this drive myself in a stick car having not driven a stick in years. It's notoriously dangerous and I can see why but if you can keep your wits about you, it's a lovely drive.

oh I think this is on the ol bucket list

even more beautiful in person

This coast is actually on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites. There's one stunning village after cathedral after garden after another to see here. That said, this is not a place for timid drivers--the driving here can be borderline aggressive so take that into consideration when planning your This coast is actually on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites.

I read about a company that rents vintage cars just to drive on this road. How much fun would that be?

I wouldn't stop here, but the drive to/from Santa Barbara and Santa Maria, past the Lake is beautiful. We normally take the 101 on the way up and the 154 on the way back (or vice versa).

worth a stop as you drive into Solvang... you can feed them... but be careful!

This is an all day activity. It's a long drive. I've had a few couples almost ruin their relationship because they didn't realize how long the drive is.

Living in the Moment: Driving the Road to Hana on Maui.

This is a 68-mile stretch that's actually in the National Register of HIstoric places. You can find dozens of waterfalls along here, the Seven Sacred Sisters among them.

Great scenic drive with hills and farms.

Beautiful Drive

One of my favorite parts of the country--very, very sophisticated, interesting community, too if you have time to get out of the car for a bit.

The neighborhood I would most like to call my own.

If you're not a resident here you have to pay to use the part of the road that's in Pebble Beach. I've done this drive myself and thought it was absolutely incredible. Well worth it.
