23 . The Road To Hana, Maui
Who takes road trips in Hawaii? The truth is if you visit the lovely island of Maui, you simply must drive the scenic road to Hana. The 52-mile road runs from Kahului to the town of Hana on the island’s east side.
The road is all curves, hairpin turns, and single-lane bridges. You’ll see exotic flora, striking seascape views, and roaring waterfalls. Highlights here include Honomanu Bay, the Painted Forest, Twin Falls, Wailua Falls, and Wai’anapanapa State Park. You can complete the drive in one day but consider camping or staying in town for a bit to really enjoy yourself.
24. Alaska Road Trip
You begin this cool five-day, six-night summer road trip in Anchorage. Explore the Alaska Public Lands Information Center and the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Take the fun Trolley tour and ride the shuttle to the local Ulu factory too.
Watch the salmon runs and sample some salmon at Bridge Seafood which overlooks Ship Creek. Drive to Palmer and see the Iditarod Museum then drive to Hatcher Pass to hike and see the lakes. Next stop, the mighty Matanuska Glacier. Take Richardson Highway towards Valdez and see the Valdez Museum and Annex.
