The Cape Cod Drive Trip in Massachusetts takes you from Buzzard's Bay to Falmouth, Wood's Hole (where you can catch the ferry to Martha's Vineyard) to Hyannis at the tip of Cape Cod. Beaches, shopping, sightseeing and, of course, seafood are the highlights of this coastal drive. AAA Road Reporter Mike Robb particularly recommends "the towns of Provincetown and Sandwich. THere's a lot of great history here. I recommend the 'shoulder-season' times if you are on a budget and want to avoid crowds."

On the other side of the country, the Washington Cascade Loop Drive Trip was once dubbed the Grand Tour by early roadway adventurers. From Seattle, this 383-mile loop goes through Coupeville, North Cascade National Park, Twisp, Leavenworth and back to Seattle, through mossy rain forests, past orchards and over mountain passes. The Road Reporter says "Leavenworth is a very nice town and is definitely worth spending a couple of days in to see all of its Tudor-style buildings and many shops. There are a lot of photo-ops around there as well. But, please, be safe and don’t drive this one in the winter."
