The Open Road Beckons: 10 Scenic Routes for Your Next Escape

There’s nothing quite like the draw to the open road. There are thousands of unique scenic routes to explore across the United States – but with so many to choose from, it’s nearly impossible to narrow down your options. No need to worry – we’ve got this part covered.

In this guide, we’ll list 10 of the most amazing scenic routes that should top your list of places to visit on your next RV adventure. 

1. Overseas Highway – Florida

There’s no place quite like the Florida Keys. If you haven’t yet had the chance to visit, what better way to see it than driving over the Overseas Highway? This “highway” is also known as the seven-mile bridge and runs over the Atlantic Ocean.

For seven beautiful miles, you’ll experience gorgeous views unlike anywhere else in the world. This bridge connects the middle Keys to the ever-famous Key West and is a spot people will travel from far and wide to see. 

If you are looking to park your RV for the night, consider staying at Bahia Honda RV Park. Here, you can put your EcoFlow Portable Solar Panels to use on your RV and ensure your portable battery has time to charge before the next adventure.

2. Blue Ridge Parkway – North Carolina

Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the most famous scenic routes in the United States. This stunning route takes you high up in the mountains of North Carolina and offers views you have to see to believe. 

With over 400 miles to explore, the parkway runs through parts of North Carolina and West Virginia. Along the route, you can pull off at the overlooks and view the stunning mountain views. 

If you make it all the way to the top, you can get out and explore. Some hiking trails will take you even further up the mountain and are well worth the trek if you have the time.

3. Pacific Coast Highway – California

On this highway, you can enjoy beautiful coastal views unlike anywhere else in California. This 600-mile highway is best enjoyed at a slow pace, offering many world-renowned stopping points. On the Pacific Coast Highway, you can catch a glimpse of the Golden Gate Bridge or even make your way up to wine country. The options are endless, and you will not regret adding this destination to your RV expedition.

Without pulling off to any of these memorable sights, the Pacific Coast Highway can take over 10 hours to drive. This is the perfect time for your EcoFlow 800W Alternator Charger to do its job. Charge up your portable battery on the go and be ready for whatever adventure lies ahead.

4. Ormond Scenic Loop – Florida 

If you’re looking for a spot that’s a bit off the beaten path, this one’s for you. Located near the East Coast of Florida, the Ormond Scenic Loop is one of the best-kept secrets in the area. When driving through this quiet route, you‘ll be engulfed by tall oak trees decorated with Spanish moss. 

If you want to stretch your legs, this would be a great place to do so. You can pull your RV over at numerous stops along the route and even set up for the day to soak up the sun or fish in one of the designated spots. With the EcoFlow DELTA Pro and 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel, you can use this time well and charge up your transportable battery for the next leg of your trip.

5. Million Dollar Highway – Colorado

Are you looking to spend the winter season in your RV? You may have to sacrifice taking certain routes with icy roads and rough conditions. The Million Dollar Highway, however, is usually open year-round and is the perfect spot to visit for those magical winter views.

This highway runs through historic mining locations and is great for history buffs wanting to get a look at some of the most renowned spots in Western America. Please note that while these roads may remain open throughout the winter season, you must take extra caution when driving them as they are narrow, steep, and may be affected by snow or ice.

6. Green Mountain Byway – Vermont

Are you setting out on the road during the fall season? If so, nothing will come close to the colors you’ll see on the Green Mountain Byway. Vermont is well-known for the bright and vibrant foliage that makes its way to the state in late September. These views are incredible and are a must-see on your scenic route tour. 

The weather will be beautiful, though temperatures tend to drop in the evenings. With the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max, you can power up an indoor heater and keep your RV nice and warm while you take in all of the beautiful autumn scenery.

7. Smoky Mountain Byway – Tennessee

If you’re living your life out on the open road, why not take some time to explore one of the most famous mountain ranges? The Smoky Mountain Byway traverses the state of Tennessee and will give you a behind-the-scenes view of this beautiful mountain state.

The road weaves in and out of the mountain range, offering a mix of nature and city views. There are plenty of photo ops along the way, and you can even get out and explore one of the many nature trails.

8. Scenic Drive Overlook – Texas

Aptly named, this scenic drive had to make our top ten list of places to see. On this drive, you can take in the beautiful city skyline or stare at the incredible mountain views that frame the horizon. 

Keep your camera battery charged with the EcoFlow DELTA 2 to ensure you can get some unique shots of the best view in the city of El Paso. We recommend parking your RV at the top of the lookout to see the city from a whole new perspective.

9. South Lake Shore Drive – Illinois

This drive offers a diverse selection of spots to see. From Lake Michigan to skyscrapers, you’ll truly see what Chicago is all about. 

On this drive, you’ll pass many landmarks, including the Navy Pier and Soldier Field. If you have time, make sure to stop in the city for a slice of deep-dish pizza at one of the many restaurants in the area.

10. Going-to-the-Sun Road – Montana

Located deep within the Glacier National Park, this scenic route is a hidden gem and well worth the visit. If you’re an early riser, the best time to drive this road is in the morning, when you’ll have a better chance of seeing local wildlife roaming the property.

Please note that you must schedule ahead if you plan to visit the remote destination. To get to the more well-known views the route has to offer, you‘ll need to book a vehicle registration pass with the National Park Service.

Final Thoughts

There are many wonderfully unique scenic routes across the United States, so what are you waiting for? Set out on the open road today. Consider equipping your vehicle with an 800W Alternator Charger while enjoying your road trip, allowing charging while driving and supporting portable power stations with high power input, eight times higher than a cigarette-lighter car charger. 

The EcoFlow 800w Alternator Charger eliminates the need to recharge from the grid frequently, creating a self-sufficient mobile power station to use throughout your adventure. Be sure to visit the EcoFlow store to stock up on your camping and RV electricity needs before you set out on your next escape.
