🌞 The South

Hit the road through the American South with scenic drives across Kentucky, Louisiana, Florida, and more. Discover historic byways, bayous, and Southern backroads.

 

Welcome to The South, where every mile tells a story rich in culture, history, and charm. This region spans a vibrant tapestry of landscapesβ€”from the smoky peaks of Appalachia to the flat, sun-drenched Gulf Coast. Whether you’re cruising through the Bluegrass hills of Kentucky, exploring the bayous of Louisiana, or winding along Florida’s backroads, the South delivers a uniquely American experience filled with hospitality and heart.

Our drives across the Southern United States reveal both well-known highways and forgotten backroads. You’ll find scenic routes like the Natchez Trace Parkway, legendary paths like U.S. Route 11, and countless stretches of local charm dotted with BBQ joints, cotton fields, old rail crossings, and Civil War-era courthouses. This category is your guide to all the hidden gems and major corridors that shape Southern road cultureβ€”past and present.

From family road trips to solo explorations, The South offers something for every traveler. Expect stunning vistas, historical detours, and a slower pace that invites you to roll down the windows and take it all in. Let the cicadas sing, the gas station coffee flow, and the roadside attractions surprise you. This is Southern road travel, and it’s never just about the destinationβ€”it’s about the journey.
