[Logarska Dolina, Slovenia 🇸🇮]

Over a decade ago, I drove to the southern end of the road in the Americas. Reaching the northern end stayed on my bucket list for years, but I finally crossed it off in 2026.
I also drove to the end of the road in Alaska, but honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it. Unless you book well in advance, you can’t actually access the Arctic Ocean there. If your goal is to experience the true end of the road, I think Tuktoyaktuk, Canada is the better destination. You can drive right into town and walk straight into the Arctic Ocean. For me, it was a much more rewarding experience.

Hi, I was hoping for some advice. Me and my 3 friends from the uk are in our mid 20s and are planning on travelling some of America next year over 3 weeks, my question is given how large America is, are we cramming too much into a short period of time? Are some stops not worth it? On paper it looks doable, reality can be much different plus most of the planning has been done by a robot so any human touch is greatly appreciated.

East of Ely, Nevada US Route 50 coincides with US-6--but even the doubled route still gets little traffic.

I have visited US 4 times already and plan a next one - we will be doing around the world trip and have like 2 weeks in America too in March. I was thinking about three roadtrips:

1. Pacific Northwest - absolute favourite but could be cold
   
2. Colorado - NM - Texas
   
3. Route 66 - but isnt 2 weeks too little?

Or if you would have any other advice it would be welcomed. I love the Southwest but have drove through it quite recently so want something else this time. But March is a limitation, I know.

Hello everybody! My sister (who is going to be 14 when we take this trip) and I (who is going to take this trip when i am 16) are going to go to Pennsylvania to visit family. This trip will hopefully be next year. It will just be us. I will be driving. I am here to ask for tips and advice. My goal is to miss Chicago entirely. Which route would be best? Do you have any other route recommendations? Thank you all!

It'll be my first time out west, I've got this general loop planned for couple weeks roadtrip with a few of friends of mine, mostly trying to get lots of western scenery, hit some NPs when we can. Unfortunately, it will be in later october/early november, so I'm fully prepared that some areas in the mountains may be too snowy at this point, this is just a general idea.

What're some things to know about this route?

My wife and I are driving the Pacific Coast Highway (highway 1) from San Fran to LA as a two week vacation trip (flying in from the eastern USA).

Trying to decide between renting a midsize SUV or a current generation corvette. Cost is about the same. Primary concern would be impact of that choice on the actual vantage point of the scenery during driving. The vette would be a dream choice for us (retired 60yo couple) for such a trip, but wondering if sight seeing of ocean, etc, is hindered by sitting lower.

Hello! I am planning a 3 week roadtrip for me and my dog. Im aware of the limitations of having my dog with me at national parks, so any dog-friendly trail recommendations are appreciated!

It will be a mix of camping and hotels/airbnbs. Looking for advice on the route, and any additional advice on getting back to Denver. Trip is planned for early September. Here is the current plan:

Day 1: Denver -> Salt Lake City

Day 2: SLC -> Reno

Day 3: Reno -> Trinidad

Day 4: Camp @ Gold Bluffs Beach

Day 5: Camp @ Elk Prairie

Day 6: Brookings, OR

Day 7: Camp @ Bullards Beach

Day 8: Yachats

Day 9: Stay in Astoria but stop at Manzanita and Cannon Beach along the way

Day 10: Camp @ Kalaloch Campground

Day 11: Take the afternoon ferry to Victoria, Stay in Port Renfrew

Day 12: Camp @ Ucluelet Campground

Day 13-15: Tofino

Day 16: Victoria

Day 17: Begin journey home

Hey all, my friend and I will be driving from Victoria to Kingston in late August.

We will both be attending school in the fall and thought it would be way more fun to drive and see the country than fly. Plus we will be able to pack a lot more stuff into our car vs into the plane.

We are planning on doing the drive in 5-6 days. We don't plan on rushing, but do have to make it to Kingston in time to settle in before the start of the semester. We will likely take stops here and there to stretch our legs, get some food, or sightsee (recommendations are welcome!)

Here is our current itinerary;

Day 0: Victoria to Vancouver

Day 1: Vancouver to Calgary

Day 2: Calgary to Brandon

Day 3: Brandon to Thunder Bay

Day 4: Thunder Bay to GTA

Day 5: GTA to Kingston

This is general itinerary. We also plan on camping overnight. We would appreciate some advice about this. As mentioned, we will be stopping in Calgary and staying with some family the first night, but after Calgary we will be setting up camp and sleeping in a tent. Our second night we plan on stopping somewhere around Brandon. Our plan is to basically drive off the main highway a few kilometers in the middle of nowhere and set up a tent after dark, wake up at dawn, and drive. Rinse and repeat for each stop along the way. I've spoken to some Manitoba locals and they say that is pretty doable so long as we don't actually go onto and private land or disturb anybody. Bonus points if we can find crown land. I get less confident when it comes to camping in northern Ontario, and especially the GTA. I know that northern Ontario has plenty of crown land, but I've never been there and don't know how accessible it is, especially for tenting overnight. Worst case scenario we get a cheap motel for the night, but we would like to avoid that. It'll be way more fun (and cheap) to camp overnight.

Lastly, as mentioned, we will be doing the drive in late August. I am a little concerned about the fact that my friends car does not have AC. It shouldn't be a problem if we can stay moving with the windows rolled down, but my main concern is if the road gets shut down for an indefinite period of time due to a crash, or god forbid, fires, and we are stuck in humid heat without moving. If anyone has any insight into this, that would be appreciated.

I'm incredibly excited for the experience of going to school in the east and getting a chance to see more of my home country. Thanks for the time and the advice, all!

Hey guys, complete beginner here!
I’m 17, and I’m so so so desperate to travel and see the world. Anyway, I’m saving up for a car, nothing fancy, but a little off roader so I can explore a bit. I’m in the UK, and after exams me and my girlfriend are planning a coast to coast Britain trip going from the top of Scotland down to Cornwall through Wales too!

Anyway, we plan on doing a Europe road trip, now here’s my question, there’s many countries we’d love to visit such as Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain etc and go off the beaten track a bit, however, there’s also places like Finland. Now, how would you guys recommend we do it? Would you break it up and do a Scandinavia road trip and a France Spain trip etc? Or just go all over? And how would it work if we wanted to do America or Asia, we’d have to hire a car I assume?

Thank you guys!!

Planning a trip on independence weekend in August. Stay tuned for details.

I’ll be driving to St. Louis, I think the drive will take 14 hours. I think if I take a few breaks I can still do in one day. I don’t need to sight see but I’d like to stop and grab a bite along the way . I’m big on biscuits and gravy so any recommends for that I’d appreciate. Has anyone done this drive, is one day to aggressive?

Just decided we (me, wife, teenage daughter) should drive across the country (LA, SF, Seattle?), leaving from NY the day after tomorrow. We're casual but not huge hikers. Any advice on routes?
