Road trip!

If you're into travel, especially by car, then Road Trip USA might be a site to add to your favourites. It's not a complete compendium of every single drive in the US, but it does do a good job of describing the route along 11 very distinctive treks - some even creeping up into Canada.

What I like about this site is that as you click a particular route, it's broken down into states (or provinces). As you click on one of them, the menu breaks down even further to individual towns or trip highlights. As you drill down, the map at the bottom gets more detailed as well. It's just an awesome way to explore the various routes and find out what's interesting along the way. The author of the site offers the material in the form of a book too.

Personally, I've driven a good portion of the Pacific Coast route.
