  Featuring all the U.S. designated America's Byways as well as many additional National Geographic-selected drives in all 50 states, the guide takes readers through every kind of landscape, from the intimate to the spectacular coasts, mountains lakes, small towns, ranch- and farmland, bays, islands, rivers, and valleys. There are famous drives here, including Virginia's Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Natchez Trace, and some of the prettiest sections of the Great River Road. But there are lesser-known drives here, too, including the ones through Pennsylvania's undiscovered Pennsylvania Dutch Country; Maryland's quiet Eastern Shore; and Michigan's remote Whitefish Bay. Some drives are jaw-droppingly magnificent, including Wyoming's Centennial Scenic Byway through the spectacular Teton Range, and Oregon's dramatic Columbia River Gorge; while others possess quiet beauty, such as the lovely Flint Hills of Kansas. This diversity reflects the richness of the American landscape.
