4. Pacific Coast Highway, California
The Big Sur region is perhaps the highlight, with cliff-hugging roads snaking along the rugged rocks beside the Pacific. And, don't forget that Hearst Castle makes a glitzy stop along the way.

5. Cabot Trail, Nova Scotia

6. Going-to-the-Sun Road, Montana
Prairie and mountain converge here, creating a wide diversity of flora and fauna. The 50 miles of hairpin turns and death-defying drop-offs take about 2 or 3 hours to navigate. Howevwe, snow closures are frequent, so check road conditions before venturing up.


7. Skyline Drive, Virginia
