Road trips are great when you just throw some bags in your car and take off. The feeling is exciting and very freeing. Unfortunately most people don’t have several months to just randomly explore, hoping they hit some interesting spots. What if there was a study which revealed the best road trip ever?
Indeed, scientists have put together “the perfect road trip.” It’s an amazing venture through the U.S., all 48 continental states, while hitting 50 awesome landmarks. The cool thing is you don’t have to start at any one point, as it’s pretty much a big loop. You can just hop on at various points and start from there, going through the whole loop or doing a partial section. Some of the places you will hit are the Statue of Liberty, the Grand Canyon, and a bunch of other gems which aren’t as commonly known.
This is ideal for summer, so check this out and start your summertime adventure! Here’s the route with all 50 landmarks:
