When you travel, do you focus on the destination or the road to get to the destination? In some places, the road is a worthy destination.
Yes, roads are predominantly formed to reach a destination. They connect and intersect to get to a certain place by the best possible way. Yet, there are several famous roads that people visit just to say that they traveled that road.
Lombard Street in San Francisco is known for its tight turns and beauty. Travelers must drive very slowly to enjoy the experience and the view.
Route 66 runs from Chicago, Illinois, to Los Angeles, California. Business owners strategically and creatively offer exhibits and memorabilia to tourists explaining the rich history and legends.
The famous roads in New York City are abundant. A few are Broadway, Wall Street, and Fifth Avenue.
A recent favorite is the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, Montana. The designer used a magnificent canvas to create a road for travelers to enjoy the scenic masterpiece views at every turn.
Every person is on a life long journey to reach a destination. We travel family roads to build and continue a legacy. We travel community roads to build relationships. We travel academic roads to reach a certain education level. We travel vocational roads to reach a desired profession. We travel sport roads to achieve a level of expertise or just to enjoy the game.
Traveling these roads for any length of time means there will be obstacles and tight turns. There will also be points to pull over and enjoy the scenic masterpiece views. When traveling any of these roads, it is best to have a travel partner. Sharing these travels with someone eases the challenges through support and encouragement. Sharing the delights of the travel experiences with someone builds the relationship while having fun.
