Olympic Peninsula
Whether you want to go clockwise or counter-clockwise, you’ll definitely want to take your time traversing this 330 miles (531 kilometers) majestic American road trip destination.
Starting of in Seattle, you can make your way to the Olympic Peninsula by connecting onto highway 101 via Junction 104 and experience the snow-covered mountain tops of the Olympic ranges while cruising along picturesque shorelines.
If the gushing waterfalls and historical logging towns weren’t enough, you’ll get to take in what is arguably considered “the most beautiful lake in the United States,” Lake Crescent.
If you fancy stretching your legs then you can always take a hike through the Hoh and Quinault rainforests located in the heart of the national park on this American road trip destination.

I have been on all these routes but you missed including Rocky Mountain National Park!
Great article but could you mention the state(s) that the following roadtrips cover?
1) Historic Columbia River Highway, 2) Red Rock country
My daughter and grand daughter just drove back and forth across RED ROCK COUNTRY. FROM THE GRAND CANYON TO SEDONA TO WINSLOW( stood on the corner with statues singing “Standing on the corner in Winslow Az “ ) and back to Flagstaff.
Ye, I was missing that too. (the states)
Took my first trip on Rt 66 in 1961 as we moved from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles. I am planning on another trip this coming year. I look forward to the painted desert and the petrified forest, I still have Glacier Part in Montana to traverse. Why go overseas?
My best friend and I have always loved road trips. This list gives us more destinations that we haven’t seen yet!
