HIGHWAY 61, THE GREAT ROAD ALONG THE RIVER
The Mississippi River is not only a geographical divide and a psychological boundary between east and west. It is also the cradle of American music: blues, jazz and rock and roll. The legendary Highway 61 starts from Minneapolis, and then goes from St Louis to Memphis, whose identity will always be linked to Elvis Presley.
From here continue to the Mississippi Delta, home of the blues, and reached New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz. The 1930 km of this stretch of the river tell the whole story, legendary and revolutionary of American music. Make a detour of 650 km and reach Nashville, the capital of the country.
PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY, CALIFORNIA
The coastal road and quintessential California dream. The Pacific Coast Highway (PCH, also known as Highway 1) embraces the west coast of the United States from the Mexican border to the ends of the state of Washington, and never strays far from the water.
Parts from San Diego and the tip of your nose cabrio due north to the Golden State. Enjoy the beauty of California and the extraordinary ocean views at every turn. Go ahead and be prepared to see elephant seals, discover secret beaches and touch the tallest trees on the planet. Apart from the most obvious destinations (Los Angeles and San Francisco), make a stop in Laguna Beach, Hearst Castle, Big Sur, Monterey and Mendocino.
ROUTE 66
The road trip across the United States by definition is one that follows the legendary 'Main Street of America': more than 3200 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles, through the Midwest, the Great Plains and the Southwest. Built in 1926, it was the street of dreams that led to the Promised Land (California), in pure style Steinbeck. Although officially the US-66 does not exist anymore, you can still follow his tracks. It will be a sort of nostalgic safari in the heart and soul of the United States - and motel vintage retro atmosphere of the 50s. The soundtrack of this trip is obvious, but which one will you choose? Nat King Cole, The Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode ...?
MOHAWK TRAIL MASSACHUSETTS
Travel to New England in the name of the show of autumn leaves on the trees changing color is a real fashion. In September and October in particular, there is plenty of choice on the streets that offer an extraordinary palette of brilliant shades of red, gold and orange.
Along the Mohawk Trail (MA 2), a 100 km road that runs through the towns of the Berkshires (western Massachusetts), you'll encounter a cocktail of tourist traps, prestigious museums, fine dining and breathtaking scenery. The road leading to Mt Greylock is long and steep, but the view that you will enjoy the effort will pay off. From the Western Summit Overlook (east of North Adams) you can admire breathtaking views.
ALCAN FROM CANADA ALL 'ALASKA
It is the journey on the road to a dream for any lover of adventures in Alaska to get to the car. It's true: most of the Alaskan Highway (the Alcan) runs through the wilds of Canada, but it is a legendary street and of breathtaking beauty, then there is.
It starts from the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, Dawson's Creek, British Columbia, after which the striking Alcan meanders through the pristine peaks of this province, the fabulous and endless stretches of the Yukon Territory and the wild heart of Alaska. Point of arrival, after 2250 km, is the Delta Junction, near Fairbanks. Many run through the Alcan aboard a camper. Think about it, too.
