USA road trips

Cram a huge helping of the East into two fantastic weeks. From NYC cabs to mountain forests, white-knuckle theme park rides to white-sand lounging, from soulful Deep South blues to Miami's feisty salsa beats, the sights and sounds are near endless.

Travel right across the continent, from the most populated US city to the runner-up - that's NY to LA in other words. If you're just not a camping sort of person, there's no finer way to roll on through a kaleidoscope of deserts, mountains, cities and canyons. Magic!

One almighty scenic sweep stretches from ocean to ocean. Experience old frontiers and sacred Native American lands to cowboy towns and cosmopolitan cities. And fear not, hardy souls, the outdoor pursuits come thick and fast across the northern States.

This one's topped our charts for over 30 years, thanks to its blend of Eastern energy and slow-paced Deep South charm mingled with mountains, canyons and deserts, before a laid-back West Coast sign off. Yes sir, this is one varied snapshot of the States.

Beat a path from ocean to ocean, LA to NYC style. Along the way, you'll browse a whole gallery of classic Americana and leftfield oddities, from cosmopolitan cities to time-warp cowboy towns and burnt orange deserts. If only winter was always this colourful.

Stop by Great Lakes, breeze through great cities and make a bunch of great new friends. Clap your eyes on the rugged Rockies, sparse prairies and protected wilderness areas that demand hiking and biking. All in all, this is one almighty road trip.

See the weird, wild and wacky faces of America on this epic adventure. Half-buried Cadillacs, line dancing and UFO accounts are among the experiences that share trip time with grand cities and vast yawning canyons. It's one sweet slice of Americana.

Passing the big, the bold and the downright brash, this route carves a breathtaking trail. Get trek-happy in a heap of national parks, party hard in city after city, cross state lines and the Canadian border. Oh, and expect a few oddball experiences thrown in!

Buckle up for a no-holds-barred epic. This giant circuit crosses each of the nine states closest to the Pacific. Big forests, mighty canyons, sprawling cities and dramatic desert as far as the eye can see. There's nothing small about this tour.

A whole patchwork quilt of experiences rolls out over 17 states. From New York, seek out the southern tip of Florida. Then forge west through plains, prairies, mountains and canyons, 'til the coast calls again on the other side. It's how all road trips should be.

This is one huge, fast and furious loop that does the States to its fullest. Six non-stop weeks cram in the parks and the peaks, the Mexican and Canadian frontiers, ghost towns and skyscraping cities. Not forgetting a helping of everything else in between.

So how about more than two months dedicated to all things Stateside? We've combined our Coast to Coast North and South Treks to create one vast circuit that takes in the best of the US. Seriously, if you want full throttle adventure, this is the big one!
