This Is The No. 1 'Must-Drive' Roadway In Ohio For A Scenic Road Trip

Now that leaves are changing color, it’s the perfect time for a scenic road trip.

Gorgeous attractions span the U.S., so travelers won’t have to go far or make big plans in advance. Stacker, a data journalism hub, compiled the must-drive roads in every state. They did it using information from:

“…the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration and state travel guides to locate must-drive roads in every U.S. state to help any would-be road tripper to narrow down their options. We researched roadways for the devilishly daring, the tranquil soul, the lonesome and lovesick, the wildlife lover, the fisherman and more, leaving no parkway unturned in order to bring joy to road warriors across the nation.”

So, which roadway is a “must-drive” in the Buckeye State? The Hocking Hills Scenic Byway. Here’s why it stands out, according to Stacker:

“The Hocking Hills Scenic Byway takes drivers deep into the rolling woodlands of southeast Ohio. Spanning from Rockbridge to Lancaster, this 32-mile roadway of unique rock formations, lush gorges and misty waterfalls is beyond blissful. Insider tip: push this drive off until fall, when the foliage is positively divine.”
