Route 66 turns 100 years old on 11 November this year. The historic American road trip route is rightly lauded for being as classic as apple pie – stretching from Illinois in the east across Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and ending in California in the west, it allows drivers to see a diverse cross-section of country.
But it isn’t the only way to see the US. In fact, whether you want a raucous night out in New Orleans or a family trip to the Great Lakes, there’s a road trip route for you. And many of them are much more of a secret than Route 66, meaning that instead of road rage, you’ll have the open highway to yourself.
