From Los Angeles to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon
With some of America's most exciting cities and scenery on the itinerary, the 270-mile journey from Tinseltown to Sin City and beyond is justifiably one of the country's most popular routes, with additional highlights including the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam.
Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles
Although it no longer offically exists, Route 66 lives on in legend, and many still refer to the journey from Chicago to Los Angeles by the road's famous name. It's the quintessential road trip, 2,000 miles, passing through nine states and it has inspired many a song.
From Maine To Georgia
The Appalachian Trail, at nearly 2,200 miles long, stretches from Spring Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine and takes in some of the most beautiful parts of America. The more intrepid can follow it through to the International Appalachian Trail, an extension that traverses the Canadian Maritimes and ends at the Atlantic coast.
Kancamagus Highway, New Hampshire
Famed for its brilliant red, yellow and orange autumn foliage, New Hampshire's annual explosion of colour makes for a truly memorable drive holiday. Some of the most picturesque locations include the dramatic Kancamagus Highway, or route 112, which runs through the heart of the White Mountain National Forest.
From Orlando Florida to Nashville Tennessee
Made famous by southern belles, delicious food and hot summers, the American South is undeniably charming. Take in the shopping malls, golf courses and theme parks of Orlando, before heading for New Orleans, the renowned home of Mardi Gras, then Nashville, the colourful home of country music on a 700-mile drive.
