We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: the very best road trips aren’t about the destination.

Especially in the RV world, it’s all about the journey — and making that trip as memorable, comfortable, and beautiful as possible. Seeking out the scenic view has been a road trip tradition since road trips were a thing. In fact, that’s one of the most attractive aspects of road tripping in the first place: You actually have the time (and are generally traveling slowly enough) to take in the beauty of the road you’re traveling. Don’t get us wrong, the views out of an airplane window can be beautiful… but it’s hard to pick out individual details from 35,000 feet!

Here at RVshare, we think RVing goes hand in hand with taking the back roads, the slow roads, the roads that don’t necessarily get you where you’re going fast… but which you’ll always remember. And many of the roads we’re about to talk about are so beautiful, you’ll be glad they aren’t getting you anywhere fast. In fact, you may just wish they went on even longer!

In this post, we’re going to talk about how to plan a road trip with scenic driving as a priority, as well as a few things to note about RV road tripping in particular. We’ll then go on to list a few of the very best scenic roads in America, from short (but stunning) jaunts to epic, hundred-mile journeys.

Along the way, we’ll give you all sorts of hints, tips, and tricks for making your upcoming RV trip the very best it can be. We’ll help you learn how to save money on the road, figure out how to choose a destination in the first place, and get a one-up on the stuff every old-hat RVer wishes they’d known before they first stuck the key in the ignition.

So buckle up, campers! It’s time to hit the road. And while it may not be a short journey, it’s definitely going to be a good one. Read more...
