With that in mind, editors at the Big 7 global travel website dipped into their travel logs to come up with the most beautiful drives in every U.S. state, from Alaska’s Denali Highway to Hawaii’s Road to Hana and Florida’s Highway 1, an overseas stretch that links the Florida Keys. > The Rim of the World Scenic Byway, a 110-mile-long route that traces the crest of Southern California’s towering San Bernardino Mountains and offers views of Lake Arrowhead and Big Bear Lake, gets a shout out for the Golden State.
