As winter melts into springtime, the United States boasts beautiful spring flowers and greenery. Anyone that loves fresh green spring leaves and buds, and the bright aroma of spring blossoms should consider these six scenic spring drives.
Get your car in order, or buy that new Ford for sale, get into whatever you have, and head off to see the beauty of the United States in springtime.
California’s Pacific Coast Highway
Highway 1, also known as the Pacific Coast Highway, is a legendary spring drive. One side of the route is a rocky coastline, while the other is full of blooming wildflowers. The highway winds through coastal towns, and over cliffs, and shows the charm of the Pacific Coast in spring.
Head to the area between late March and the beginning of May for the best weather and wildflower sightings.
Virginia and North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Parkway
The Appalachian Highlands are a gem of springtime. Hidden in the Southeastern US, the Blue Ridge Parkway highway flows through pink, purple, and white blossoming trees, rolling hills, and valleys. If you are observant, you may even see wild turkeys, deer, or bears.
Plan to visit in late April or early May to see all the flowering trees in full bloom.
Texas’ Bluebonnet Trail
Texas Hill Country transforms into a beautiful blue blanket every year during spring. The Bluebonnet Trail, stretching from Austin to San Antonio, is a sight to see, as you pass miles upon miles of gorgeous bluebonnets.
This phenomenon occurs in late March up until mid-April, depending on the weather.
Montana’s Going-to-the-Sun Road
Montana is home to some of the most breathtaking mountains and scenery in the country. Going-to-the-Sun Road winds through snowy peaks and bright green slopes. As glaciers melt, the plants and earth awaken, and waterfalls begin to cascade down the cliffs. Lake McDonald’s vivid blue waters are a marvelous site to behold and shouldn’t be missed.
This highway is best traveled towards the end of May and beginning of June, to avoid snow on the road.
Oregon and Washington’s Columbia River Gorge
If you love wildflowers and waterfalls, this is the drive for you. Multnomah Falls is one of the most notable in the area. Vibrant wildflowers contrast with rushing rivers and lush plant life.
The best waterfalls and wildflowers in this region can be seen between late March and early May.
Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee’s Natchez Trace
This ancient Native American trail winds through forests, meadows, historic sites, and more. The magnolias, azaleas, and dogwoods bloom and bring brightness to such a historic area. The drive is serene and enriching and part of the natural heritage of the Deep South.
To see the trees in bloom, you can go anytime between late March to the beginning of May.
Birth and Renewal
