Strangest Things to See on a Road Trip Across America

The Dispatch
The West Coast has the most iconic drive in the country and most of the people doing it are doing it wrong. The Pacific Coast Highway from San Diego to Astoria is 900 miles of cliffs, redwoods, and lookouts that earn the brake fade. Most trip writeups treat it as a single Saturday. It isn't. The posts here cover the West Coast at honest distance: which sections of the PCH actually deliver, where to overnight that's not a $400 boutique hotel, which Cascade pass closes when, which beach town has the one good coffee shop. California, Oregon, Washington. Salt air, real elevation, the occasional fog wall.

Six western drives, ranked by what they actually deliver between the trailheads: ocean cliffs, red rock, alpine switchbacks, and one road Charles Kuralt called the most beautiful in America.
