      On a recent road trip from Los Angeles to Austin, accompanied by my pug, Miss Phoebe Rose, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that even motels with “no pet” signs were welcoming all sizes and breeds in order to combat current recession high vacancy rates. The number of households with pets has risen to a record 63% and a recent survey indicates that 19% of dog owners choose to travel with their pets.

      272 miles, 6 hours 30 minutes

      While the claim that this is one of America’s 10 most beautiful byways may be overstating the case, Nebraska Highway 2 is undoubtedly a very picturesque and pleasant drive. Start off in the Lincoln Highway city of Grand Island, head north west through the natural scenic beauty of the Sandhills and finish off with a visit to Carhenge, one of ...

      4. United States

      78 miles – 1 hour 30 minutes

      This is one of those drives where the route itself is the destination. That may seem a claim too far when you’re heading towards the natural wonders of Yellowstone National Park but the drive west from Cody – through a spectacularly rugged canyon carved from volcanic rock by the Shoshone River – really is one of America’s most beautiful drives. ...

      144 miles – 4 hours 30 minutes

      This extraordinarily varied drive starts at one natural wonder, finishes at another and passes through areas of natural springs, huge sand dunes and expansive views of beautiful Idaho in between. Starting in Twin Falls, you’ll follow the Thousand Springs Scenic Byway north before heading west on Old U.S. 30. From Bruneau you’ll head south ...

      468 miles – 11 hours 30 minutes

      For most of its 468 miles, U.S. Highway 30 follows the former route of the Lincoln Highway, “from grain elevator to grain elevator”, across Nebraska. Contrary to popular myth, this is a drive that offers a whole range of fascinating diversions for the driver who’s looking to search out a bit of old America. ...

      77 miles – 2 hours 45 minutes

      ‘Majestic’ is the adjective that springs most readily to mind when describing this most scenic of byways (which is actually split into two separate sections). Steep hills and cliffs rise up from the broad waters of the Columbia and you’ll find your drive being constantly interrupted by the temptation to follow a trail to a waterfall or stop off at a viewing point. ...

      100 miles -- About 3 hours

      This trip offers a glimpse of some of the places that attracted Florida’s earliest settlers and where artifacts from the Native Americans who hunted and lived off these lands are still being discovered. Bring your bathing suit for a swim along the way, a container to take home some spring water and end your trip at one of Florida’s oldest attractions. ...
