About Travel & Places

America's scenic byways follow the shape of the land itself — tracing ridge lines, curling around river bends, and dropping into hushed valleys where the road narrows to a single lane and the trees close in overhead. A well-placed overlook pull-off rewards the patient traveler with a panorama that no interstate ever offered: purple ridges stacked to the horizon, a river glinting far below, or a meadow going gold in the afternoon light. These slow roads ask nothing more than an easy foot on the pedal and a willingness to stop.
