Introduction
The freedom of the open highway, cities humming with energy and scenery that ranges from desert bluffs to snowy peaks has made North America the venerable granddaddy of the humble road trip.
Roll into town to the hum of a harmonica as you take in the Deep South’s proud heritage or explore Yukon’s frontier land where glacial mountains and forest-lined rivers are animated by everything from moose to grizzly bears.
Or, if train travel is more your style, shoot over giant canyons on trestle bridges and skirt colossal lakes on a luxury rail trip through the Canadian Rockies. For something more urbane, multicultural Toronto’s artsy enclaves and world-class restaurants are complemented by next-door Niagara's wines and waterfalls.
