Here's a link to seven of the worlds best driving roads! The article is in a similar vein to the five great Canadian drives in my previous post but takes on an international flavor. There are two of the listed drives almost in my backyard. The Icefields Parkway, otherwise known as Alberta Highway 93, is a beautiful drive that I've had the privelege of driving on several occasions although not in my Festiva. To quote the linked site "this world-class journey offers access to a vast wilderness of pristine
mountain lakes, ancient glaciers and broad sweeping valleys. This
special travel route winds its way through two national parks, boasting a
unique and irreplaceable landscape rich in history and natural beauty
second to none." Can't really add much to that!
The other Canadian drive listed is British Columbia's "Sea to Sky" highway. Here's a link to the Trip Advisor site for some reviews. Haven't done this one yet but it's definitely on the bucket list.
The next closest to me is the infamous Tail of the Dragon. This is another one that is definitely on the bucket list. If you've been following this blog at all you'll remember that we did a trip in 2011 to North Carolina for a Festiva Madness V. We hope to return one day and will add this drive to our itinerary.
Of the remaining four drives I think the Argentinian one is the least likely we will ever do but what an adventure it would be! My wife and I are hoping to go to Europe in the not too distant future and we will try and get at least one of the other drives in, most likely Stelvio Pass.
I'd love to hear what your favorite or bucket list drives are!
