Routes at a Glance
California
October 2 – 4, 2026
A remix of California's greatest hits: sweeping coastal views from the Pacific Coast Highway, wine-country cruising through Sonoma & Napa Valley, and a high-note finish through Carson Pass to serene Lake Tahoe. One long weekend of curves, views, and miles of smiles.
New York
October 23 – 25, 2026
New York delivers a fall-ready rally that starts with the beautiful water views of Niagara Falls and the shoreline sweep of Lake Ontario, continuing through the Great Lakes Seaway Trail before the roads start tightening into the storybook feel of Old Forge and the Adirondack Mountains. One long weekend where the landscape keeps changing, and the route keeps rewarding.
Florida
November 13 – 15, 2026
Fun in the sun through Florida's greatest road trip hits: beautiful sawgrass and cypress scenery through the Everglades through Tamiami Trail, onto the Overseas Highway US-1 with bright coastline views where the Gulf and Atlantic meet, culminating with the bucket-list Seven Mile Bridge stretch into Key West for the ultimate encore. One long weekend of sunshine and smiles.
