New Roads Six Great Driving Roads In North America
If you want to make the most of your Mitsubishi, take it for a drive on one of the finest roads in Canada or the United States. Here are half-a-dozen of the very best.
Blue Ridge Parkway The Blue Ridge is a twisting, undulating spine that runs diagonally for 755 kilometres across Virginia and North Carolina. It was built as a scenic road and is designated as a National Parkway, so there are no commercial trucks and anyone in a hurry is away on the interstate. The two-lane highway stays up near the peaks of the Appalachian Mountains, sometimes several thousand feet above the valleys to each side, and there are
plenty of places to pull over and take in the beauty of the forested vistas. It’s best to carry your own snacks or drinks, because there are no communities beside the road and only a handful of restaurants, all of them table-service. The true pleasure, however, is in the drive itself: gen‑ tle, well-posted curves beneath the trees on smooth tarmac with numerous passing points if needed, cre‑ ating an unrushed journey away from the bustle of everywhere else.
