Great River Road

This road trip earns its name by running along the Mississippi River, all the way from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana. The 3,000-mile trip should take about 20 hours and you’ll want to break it up since there are some iconic stops along the way. This route will take you through 10 states, offering a great choose-your-own adventure type of trip. You can stop in New Orleans for some amazing live street music and a stroll down Bourbon Street where you can drink a cocktail outdoors. You can stop in Memphis to check out the National Civil Rights Museum. Do a day in St. Louis to see their breathtaking botanical gardens and many museum offerings. This road trip offers an excellent sampling of all things Americana.
