U T A H VALLEY DRIVE –MONUMENT VALLEY

Picking one drive only from the profusion of world beaters thatcrowd the highways along the Utah/Colorado border is nigh onimpossible but you’d have to go a long way to top the majesty ofValley Drive through Monument valley. A 17 mile toughened dirttrack loop that winds through a crimson landscape of sweepingdesert and towering rock pinnacles, the road boasts 11 sceniclookouts gazing out over vistas that have featured in Hollywoodblockbusters from John Ford westerns to Thelma & Louise.

W Y O M I N G & M O N T A N AGRAND LOOP ROAD –YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

Home to one of the world’s most spectacular canyons, vast highaltitude lakes, an extraordinary concentration of wildlife and over ahalf of all of the world’s hydro-thermal features – Yellowstone National

Park is a destination all by itself. Nearly all the famous sights in the parkare within a couple of hundred feet of the Grand Loop Road, a 140-mile highway that traces a figure of eight through the middle of thepark and it would be a week’s work to do the whole road justice.Perhaps the most iconic stretch is the route between Old Faithful andMammoth Hot Springs, passing through five geyser basins as itfollows the beautiful Firehole and Gibbon rivers. Hot stuff indeed.

F L O R I D AA1A HIGHWAY

It may sound like a better name for your local taxi firm than ascenic drive but for us no road sums up the spirit of Florida betterthan the A1A. The highway hugs the Atlantic coast for almost thewhole length of the State passing through exclusive seasidecommunities, historic towns, sun drenched beaches and tranquilstate parks. The northern stretch from St Augustine,running along a narrow stretch of barrier islandspast golden beaches, sweeping dunes andremnants of Florida’s rich history, is particularly

stunning. Locals often state they will never live west of the A1A and once you’ve driven it you’ll find it hard to argue with them.

M I S S I S S I P P I , A L A B A M A & T E N N E S S E ENATCHEZ TRACE PARKWAY

Winding over 444 miles from Natchez to Nashville, the NTPfollows a historic path used by American Indians and early settlers.Through a quirk of history no major highway ever came this wayand the whole route remains beautifully undeveloped. The scenicdrive wanders amongst cascading waterfalls, ethereal cypressswamps and charming farmlands little changed in hundreds ofyears and the prehistoric mounds, Civil War sites and pioneerhistory offer a fascinating insight into an America that has largelydisappeared elsewhere. This is a relaxed beautiful drive that offersolitude and soul in equal measure.
