A road trip across the United States is a rite of passage. The automobile explosion of the 1950s led to newfound access to entirely new parts of the country. The road trip in the United States represents a certain kind of nostalgia and something that can’t be found elsewhere. Here at Visit USA Parks, we believe one of the best ways to experience the United States and Canada is by car. Sharing in great conversations, listening to music, sipping coffee or Coca Cola, and discovering beauty and cultural differences is an unbeatable experience. Believe it or not, America’s national park system has had a large impact on road trip culture. Many famous roads were built to connect public lands across open spaces. Road tripping is almost like going back in time to see how America was built and connected via the most scenic highways throughout the country.
