Do drive the famed Ruta 40 from tip to tail in Argentina

From Bolivia to Patagonia, Ruta 40 is the spine of Argentina. You can see a cross-section of the entire country and people. Start in Salta and take a left.
A 4WD is worth the extortion money they charge….there were times I would have paid $10,000...

Where The Asphalt Ends - Lana'i

The Hawaiian island of Lana'i is not for the posh, it's for the rugged. With only 30 miles of paved roads (which basically break down into 3 actual roads) and 400 miles of unpaved roads stretching in every direction possible - the island requires...

Highway 50

Amazing red rock formations line the highway in Utah. This area use to be the ocean bed but now is a desert. You get these views free of charge by driving on Highway 50/Interstate 70.

Directionally Challenged

Desolate But Beautiful

During a trip to Iceland in January to celebrate my 40th birthday, my husband and I rented a car so we could explore the country on our own schedule. We were struck by how amazing the sunsets were in the winter, lasting for 45 minutes to an hour...

Australia's London Bridge

One of the many natural rock formations along Victoria's Great Ocean Road. Great day trip, even if it is a bit stormy. :)

Make sure you don't just go see the Twelve Apostles. It's not worth the drive unless you make as many stops as possible and...

Oh, Wyoming!

Having been raised on National Geographic magazines, I have always been fascinated by the western landscape of America. The jagged peaks of Tetons have been on my to-see list ever since I have known the works of Ansel Adams. Last labor day...

The Road from Salta to Cafayate

Highway One between Jenner and Bodega Bay

Many car commercials have been filmed along this stretch of the iconic California road. The hairpin turns and switchbacks make it a wild ride for some, but the views to the west (the ocean) and the east (Northern California's inimitable green...

What Sunday Drives are Made Of

The trees look as if they have plotted a slow attack to take over the road. Vines hang down trying to slyly block my way and hinder my vision. The road isn’t straight nor does it have any defined shoulders or boundaries. The asphalt is laid around...
