From Austin, south to San Antonio then west to Junction, the Hill Country is chock full of colorful Texas towns. Don’t miss authentic German food (and beer!) in Fredericksburg, country music in Gruene, and any number of rivers to inner-tube down when it comes time to cool your heels.

Start with a visit to the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, where you’ll learn more about the sea life that live just below the vertigo-inducing cliffs you’re about to drive along, then end with a visit to the fabulous Hearst Castle at San Simeon. The Big Sur, the rugged and untamed California coastal area north of San Simeon on Highway 1, was inaccessible until 1932 when the Bixby Street Bridge offered access to beaches, mountains and redwood canyons.

Iconic Mount Rushmore is the big-name attraction, but a drive through the granite spires and pines of Black Hills includes everything from Wild West gold-rush kitsch (Deadwood), free-ranging wildlife (bison, big horn sheep, prairie dogs) and scenic day hikes to stretch road-weary legs (try Cathedral Spires Trail on the Needles Highway). In this 2005 photo, two motorcyclists round a curve in the Black Hills near Sturgis, S.D. as motorcyclists arrive for the annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. (AP Photo/Joe Kafka)
