Sam and I are starting to dream up another epic road trip. While browsing Pinterest, I found an infographic with a link to Road Trip USA. Are you familiar with this site? It lists 11 road trip routes across the USA and what to do along the way. This is a good way to start brainstorming a road trip.
I think the coastal trips look fantastic. I have driven (or be a passenger along) much of The East Coast. Last year, for our first anniversary we drove from Miami, FL to Key West. In a convertible. It was amazing. I am also quiet fond of the Carolina coast. Though a trip from Washington D.C to Boston, MA is filled with traffic, it has a lot of history along the way. If you choose to do this route you can end up exploring the museums and monuments of D.C, the food, theater and museums of New York City and the history and culture of Boston. I can't imagine driving the entire East Coast in one trip. I think it would be more manageable broken up into parts. However, I speak as an East Coaster. If you are from else where, you may want to do all of it, or much of it, at once.
Southern California has been our home for the last 10 months. I have driven the coast line from San Diego to Carlsbad, San Clemente or farther north numerous times. It is unbelievable how much untouched beauty there is along the road. There are so many quaint beach towns along the way. I am very much looking forward to traveling farther north along The West Coast over the next year. I have heard the drive, particularly north of LA is stunning.
Our next long road trip will be planned around some of the amazing National Parks here on The West Coast. We will drive north along the coast, hitting Redwoods, Crater Lake and Olympic National Parks. We are also hoping to explore Yellowstone and the Tetons on this trip as well. Sam is a huge fan of Glacier, but we aren't sure we will have enough time to make a detour to see that park as well.
What are some must do's along The West Coast? Any favorite National Parks? I am looking forward to seeing the diversity of this beautiful coast. Stay tuned for more information as we continue to plan.
