According to AAA, more than one-third of Americans are planning to take a vacation of 50 miles or more away from home this year, and the old-school family road trip remains the most popular type of family vacation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">And some of the most popular road trip routes are found along the National Scenic Byways and All-American Roads. In 1991, the National Scenic Byways and All-American Roads programs began through an Act of Congress to \u201crecognize, protect and promote America&#8217;s most outstanding roads.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">According to Scenic America, \u201cNational Scenic Byways designations recognize those roads across the country that exhibit one of more six core intrinsic qualities \u2013 scenic, natural, historic, recreational, archaeological, or cultural \u2013 contributing towards a unique travel experience.\u201d What\u2019s more, the very best of the National Scenic Byways are designated as All-American Roads, having met \u201cthe same criteria as a National Scenic Byway, but possess multiple intrinsic qualities that are of national significance and the byway must be considered a destination and reason for travel unto itself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Unfortunately, the National Scenic Byways and All-American Roads programs ended in 2012. However, and fortunately for all of us road trippers, these routes continue to be maintained on the local level for our our road tripping pleasure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">To find inspiration for your next road trip, browse through the gallery above.
