Getting to drive the entire Blue Ridge Parkway from mile 0 to mile post 469 was amazing!

Thank you for having Going to the Sun road here.. So many lists leave this place out Which is a slap to the face of Mother Nature.

My favorite is Denali Park Road although I haven’t been to all of the others. Great video- it reminds me how wonderful it is to have all these beautiful places so accessible.

Thank you for this thoughtful and beautiful video. I might get in trouble for this, but one of my favorite drives is through The Napa Valley - it's gorgeous and has amazing food.

I feel like Cadillac summit road in Acadia deserves an honorable mention

I've been to all of these except Big Bend and agree, they are fabulous.

Thank you for nice review. Very nice view of those majestic places. I wish I can visit them one day... Btw I am watching you from Russia

Just love your voice & explanation ❤

I completely agree with Denali Park Road. When I visited for 2 days back in 2019, I got to see around 15-20 bears, countless caribou, and many moose. And the view of the mountain is absolutely beautiful. By far my favorite national park.
Have a great time at American Samoa!

Great list! Sequoia and Kings Canyon Generals Hwy is absolutely stunning but once you get onto the Kings Canyon Scenic Byway, it’s completely unreal.

One of my dreams is to maintain a classic car and drive it around the country and through our national parks

I just did Trail Ridge Road in October. We didn’t get lucky with wildlife. We saw elk, but we had been seeing them all week. It was cool to stop at an overlook and see the same herd from way higher up, though. The elevation is definitely no joke! It was stunning and terrifying.
I want to go to Glacier next!

I've been to most of those and they are all wonderful. I would suggest the Crater Lake NP Rim Drive be a contender as the views of the Lake and the mountains around it are spectacular!

Denali Park Road is one of my favorites and it wasn't even clear when I went. Just love that place. Absolutely going back and spending more time there in the near future.

My Top 10 (no particular order, though my more favorite ones are probably at the top lol)

Denali Park Road
Yellowstone Grand Loop
Trail Ridge Road
North Cascades Highway (Washington SR-20)
Mount Rainier highways
Yosemite Valley Loop
Lassen Volcanic Byway
Generals Highway
South Rim/Desert View Drive in Grand Canyon
Moose-Wilson & Teton Park Roads

Some that I haven't done yet but reallyyyy want to do are Beartooth Highway, McCarthy Road, Hurricane Ridge Road, and Denali Pk Rd, but on a clear day.

You're a lucky guy to have experienced all of these beautiful places at such a young age. I haven't yet been to a single one of those roads. :/ Soon, though!

Do you have something against National Parks East of the Mississippi?

[ChaoRongWu]

You could drive in Zion in the winter. That's amazing.
