11 Affordable Road Trip Destinations for Your Stunning Fall Bucket List

Are You Ready for Your Next Road Trip?

In all honesty, few other countries can compete with the United States’ diverse scenery and frugal traveling options. Better said, you can easily visit the entire country with only a couple of hundred, which is as cheap as it can get.

And when we say you’ll get to see everything, we mean it: from tropical jungles and rocky coastlines all the way to red rocks canyons and colossal peaks, we’ve got it. More often than not, it’s at half the price anyway.

No matter which part of the country you want to visit, there’s probably a scenic drive in its vicinity that you easily take your breath away. So get behind the wheel, roll your windows down (if it doesn’t rain), and cruise through astounding rivers, peaceful fjords, and heavenly mountaintops with your budget untouched! Here are some of the most scenic fall road trips that won’t cost you an arm and a leg:

Beartooth Highway, Montana, and Wyoming

The main road in and out of Yellowstone National Park runs along an entire skyline of mountain vistas that look, just like the name implies, just like a Beartooth. When you get to the Wyoming side, you’re up over 10,000 feet, which is exactly why it is open as soon as the cold weather settles in.

Even then, you might be able to catch snow-capped mountains all along the way. We can say this is America’s comeback to the Icefields Parkway in Canada. The road has a bunch of pretty sheer drops and intense elevation, so driving it isn’t always for the faint of the heart, especially during inclement weather.

However, that makes fall the ideal time to visit. Even when you catch the sights from Tibbs Butte in Wyoming and can take in the grandeur of the American West, the white-knuckle driving still seems worthwhile.
