Buckle up for the road trip of a lifetime: 100 epic journeys through all 50 states and 10 Canadian provinces offering thousands of sites and roadside attractions along the way. A sequel to the best-selling 50 States, 5,000 Ideas.

From a vineyard route through Northwest wine country to a winter wonderland on Alberta's Icefields Parkway, this informative travel guide offers epic sights, good bites, and pure fun. Pack your car and hit the road to experience 100 drives--both classic and off the beaten track--across the United States and Canada. You'll find innovative itineraries outlining your route, along with when to go and what to see and do along the way. And there's something here to satisfy every passenger. Take in the magnificent turns along Alaska's Route One through Anchorage to Kenai. Or wind your way through retro spots from Chicago to Los Angeles on Route 66. On nearly 600 miles of New Mexico's Trail of the Ancients, stop off to encounter sites dating back to A.D. 850. Or discover fossils along Dinosaur Drive, a route that winds its way from Calgary to Denver. Beach lovers will delight in Hawaii's Oahu Circle Island Drive, while history lovers can follow Canada's War of 1812 trail: a cruise between Montreal and Windsor with stops at major battlefields along the way.
Filled with expert tips, tons of activities, and plenty to see and do as you drive--the ultimate road trip playlist anyone?--here is an inspirational and practical keepsake for any road warrior.
“National Geographic’s 100 Drives, 5000 Ideas is the perfect road trip companion. And, if you’re feeling adventurous, it outlines pitstops and detours that you can take along the way.” –Tabi Thoughts

“The photographs themselves make you want to hop into the car and start driving…The book also has great tips for those who like to do more than to drive, but bike, camp, hike, etc…In this book, the author gives some very cool facts about the locations, which will be great for anyone wanting to be on Jeopardy, or better yet, annoy the kids with your immense, and seemingly endless, fountain of impractical knowledge.” –Man of la Book
“Each drive gives the reader ideas of where to go and what to do and see along the way. I love that they’ve added in the distance, drive time, the best season to visit, and some highlights so you can plan accordingly. There are also some facts included for each place, like historical knowledge or types of wildlife in the area.” –PNW Pixie

National Geographic’s recently published 100 Drives, 5000 Ideas by Joe Yogerst is just the book you need right now to satisfy your wanderlust and provide plenty of ideas for future road trips…If you browse through the book and sticky tab all the trips that look interesting then you’ll have enough road trip ideas to last a lifetime!!” –Gone With the Family
 
“Nowadays, a road trip sounds pretty perfect…I couldn’t think of a better book to inspire my wanderlust at this moment in time…Flipping through the pages, it almost felt like I was in the locations highlighted–exactly the escapism I needed during a time where I can’t leave and travel…One of the things I love most about National Geographic is how it continually inspires a sense of wonder…I feel as though when we’re ready to start traversing the United States, we’ll be ready to hit the road like pros.” –Alex on the Map
