Suggestion - take a road trip around Portugal. I'm sure a lot of us would like to see some of your country.
Might be a good test to see how well the baby travels to help decide when to make the big US trip and how to do it
I’ve requested that he react to any of Wolter’s World Portugal travel vids. There are several. I know I would enjoy either suggestion. Seeing his country through his eyes would be cool. 😊
I agree 100%
Yes, please ❤
André every state has beautiful landscapes.
Hawaii's Maui Island's road to Hana may be the most spectacular and it was left off this list.
I drove that Nevada highway to visit my father who lived in eastern Nevada at the time. If you see a sign saying "No Gas for 100 miles," this is not an exaggeration. You will pay more per gallon of fuel in these small towns, but you have no other choice.
If you are a member of Automobile Association of America (AAA) or have a roadside assistance subscription, they can either bring you fuel or tow your vehicle to the nearest fuel stop. Otherwise, you will need to call someone to bring fuel or to tow your vehicle. This is a consideration for long road trips, particularly while traversing sparsely populated areas. There are multiple stretches where you can go an hour or two without a single car passing by.
When on long road trips, I carry gallons of water and non-perishable food with me in case I have a breakdown in a remote area. It may be awhile before help can arrive.
I've lived in Nevada for 20yrs, I said almost the exact same thing. One cavoite; there is no cell service and very little radio reception through there as well. Its actually a kind of scary stretch of road through there.
@@christiroseify, good point about cell phone coverage.
I drove several hundred miles of the Pacific Coast Highway and it is beautiful. The grey whales were migrating at the time so I could see pods of them along the way.
You are a master of diplomacy. You're very good at putting a positive spin on everything
roadtrips are the best way to see the states properly cus take as long as you want & make stops & take detours that others don't take the time to appreciate....my family lives in one of the California towns along route 66 so I've done it from there to some of it here in Arizona & I've done the whole Pacific Coast Highway....I can confirm its an amazing drive
Agree, road trips are a must if you want to see America.
Man, this just makes me realize how much of my country I haven't seen. 😢 This is one of the best reaction channels I've watched.
First, some road trip safety hints: Pack several gallons of potable water for yourself and a few gallons water and some coolant for your car. Make sure you have some non-perishable food. And have a blanket -- the dessert can get very cold at night.
The high road to Taos is beautiful. Visit the church at Chimayo and visit some of the studios of the traditional weavers. At Cordova, stop at the galleries/studios of some of the Santos carvers. See the buffalo and buy some pottery at Picuris . If you're there on San Lorenzo day, the feast day dances are something to see. Stop at one of the wineries in the area. Make sure you get some cider, in season. While in Taos, have some blue corn enchiladas and sopapillas with honey at Rancho Plaza Grill or Antonio's.
If you do the high road, come back on what they call the low road, which runs along the Rio Grande. You need to take a rafting trip on the Rio Grande. There are some nice gentle half day trips that are family friendly. Also head up to Ghost Ranch to see where Georgia O'Keefe painted.
The High Road to Taos in New Mexico was one of my favorite drives I have ever taken. Somehow, it became a spiritual drive and I often had to get out of the car and just stand there looking at the stunning scenery. Santa Fe is absolutely beautiful and Taos is amazing.
Florida: the only state where you can wake up and see the colorful sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean, and sunset over the Gulf of Mexico, in the same day, or, just by crossing the street in the Florida Keys.
Florida weather sucks. It’s always hot and very humid. California is gorgeous and dry.
@@MsWobbly1 And you can keep your random earthquakes.
PCH is definitely #1 Oregon is special ❤
I grew up doing road trips across our country many many times. I driven from northern cali to Alabama so many times on many different routs...with my parents, ex husbands/2, with my sister, with my kuds & the dog & by myself multiple times which I quite enjoyed. Taking sude trips is so much fun, finding little towns with some great food & nice people. Just remember...if u r driving through the desert make sure to gas up, have water to drink & TURN YOUR AC OFF!!. Roll down the windows, put your hair in a pony tail, crank that music up & off you go. The rectangle burn marks you see on the side of the roads are what's left after your car catches fire & burns to the ground because you left your air conditioning on high! Your car can burn up people. Never drive thru a desert with the ac on it can save your life.
I have traveled all of the country and it is impossible to say that one state is the most beautiful. Every state has something wonderful about it because the diversity in this country is staggering. There are signs in Nevada to tell you how far to the next gas station. Some of the best road trips that I have had have been on dirt roads in the back country!
Growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, my brother and i went to summer camp near the Delaware Water Gap. However, our camps were technically in The Pocono Mountains, which are also close by. The Delaware Water Gap is called the Gateway to the Poconos. Pennsylvania is a very beautiful state with a lot of hidden gems of beauty and of historical importance. Pennsylvania has its name for William Penn, who settled Pennsylvania and for the never ending woodlands. It literally means Penns woods.
ooh, I love the poconos. Also the grand tetons are so angular. Amazing. Also check out the painted desert in oregon, gorgeous, they say go in springtime when the flowers are blooming to get even more color.
NOTHING beats the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The parkway beats Colorado in my estimation!
It's magical. It's part of the Appalachian Trail. The Appalachian Trail begins at Springer Mountain in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest in Georgia and ends at the summit of Katahdin in Baxter State Park, Maine. The trail is about 2,200 miles long and passes through 14 states: I live near the part that runs through North Carolina, My favorite place to visit !
I've done the Overseas Highway trip from Miami to Key West and Key West to Miami, at least 25 times in my life, and the Pacific Coast Highway from Los Angeles to San Francisco and San Fran to LA 3 times, and the one in the Smokey Mountains twice. We really do live a VERY BEAUTIFUL countrry.
We drove the Hwy 50 Loneliest road in the US. It's the gap between Utah and Nevada's capitol, Carson City. It is the one and only time I've ever gotten car sick. The heat makes the road have waves going across it. We were so bored, we stopped for a dead animal on the side of the road to see what it was. However, Hwy 50 from Carson City to Placerville (40 miles east of Sacramento, California is some of the best sites with Lake Tahoe, little waterfalls after leaving Lake Tahoe and pine trees.
I have driven the "Million Dollar Highway" multiple times, and it is beautiful. But there is almost nowhere to stop, and some of those drop offs are insane. Often that white line is the edge of the cliff. And there are basically no guardrails, so if you aren't paying attention to the road, bad things WILL happen.
I grew up in Oregon and it is fantastic. The smells,sheer beauty are remarkable. To drive the coast hiway is daunting. Be warned the drive narrow highways at interstate speeds or try to.
I lived in Nevada, and drove the loneliest road in Nevada . we didn't know that everything in town closed at 8pm and had to get a motel room untill they opened the next day. made the trip longer than planed, but still a great experience.
If you come to Washington, I'd recommend driving the Cascade Loop. The beautiful mountain scenery is unbeatable and very representative of what western Washington has to offer.
I just drove from Dallas TX to Salt Lake City and it was absolutely stunning! 4 corners to Salt Lake City is stunning! Route 66 is hard to go 100% because it goes on and off the major interstate. I've done PCH 2 times and its fabulous!
I live in Oregon, and I do think the Pacific Northwest is amazingly beautiful and magical. But for sheer scale and jaw dropping vistas, Alaska and Montana have the most. But Montana's beauty is more concentrated and accessible than Alaska, so I'd give it first place.
I used to LOVE going to the Delaware Water Gap as a kid! Every chance we got once the weather was nice, we'd pack up the car and head down to go tubing, fishing, hiking, etc. My health keeps me from such activities most of the time now but it's still a beautiful place to visit. I would also always recommend the Blue Ridge Parkway as a great scenic drive.. it also runs through multiple states so you can enjoy a lot of varied beauty along the way.
I'd like to add A1A on the Atlantic coast of Florida. Maybe not as "pretty" as those mentioned, but you'll get the ultimate Florida experience. Stop for cheap t-shirts and tchotchkes. Drive on the beach sand (where allowed). Cover your wife's back with coconut-smelling SPF lotion. Eat seafood. The ultimate "Florida" experience.
PCH is fabulous. But I have a stunning recollection of the over ocean highway to Florida. We were driving from Miami to Key West and we were over the ocean at night when a storm blew in. And the lightning would flash so bright that the entire ocean reflected the lightning. So you were driving in pitch black with pouring rain, we could only drive about 10 miles an hour because we didn’t want to drive off the road and into the ocean, and there were no rails where we were. Everything is pitch black, no street lights, we were just following the tail lights in front of us, and then suddenly everything flashes complete white the ocean is white -sky, ocean in all directions. Everything is blinding white, then instantly pitch black again. it was the weirdest surreal thing I’ve ever been in.
I just brought up pictures of Portugal. It’s breathtaking there. The colorful buildings, the river ways, and all that stunning architecture and history. If I could choose a place to visit it would be Portugal! I bet their wine is amazing too. 😊😊😊
As noted already in comments, your audience would like to know more about Portugal. You are a good ambassador! There should be some videos about your scenic and historical areas and customs?
Also, throw in some info about the food. He always reacts to the different dishes offered in America, but I'm sure some of us would like to know more about Portuguese cuisine.
The Pacific coast highway really ends at the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. the highway doesn't really follow that much of the Washington coast. Yes Oregon is beautiful.
The loneliest road sounds just perfect for my Prius --can run for miles on 'no gas'. I remember stopping at the Big Rock Candy Mountains in New Mexico as a child. Amtrak takes a person through a lot of scenic routes ... and, doesn't require a driver. Personally, I'm from AK and I could see a lot of this just on the way from Anchorage to Denali Park.
Hi🙋from Tucson, Arizona ‼️ Well, I am in the southwest now, but I was born and raised in Sussex Co. where a portion of the "Old Mine Road" is and it follows the Delaware River. It is a beautiful place, unique, with a lot of history dating back to our early days as a colony. The Old Mine Road is or was, I haven't checked in awhile, but it was considered the oldest road in the country. The Delaware River itself has a lot of history as you probably already know. George Washington's historical crossing from Pennsylvania to N.J. (New Jersey) is probably the most well known around the world, I be would imagine. I may be wrong, but, yes, this part of the Old Mine Road in N.J. is beautiful country, along with the Delaware River. Canoed and rafted many times down the Delaware ‼️ Fun times‼️ Now I am older and am enjoying the sunny weather in Tucson. Been here almost 30 years now. But, yeah, this part of N.J. is my old stomping ground😊🙋 Thanks for your video....I am a new sub‼️☺️
Andre, that's why you ALWAYS keep at least 1 five gallon gas tank in your trunk. When I was going to traverse the Everglades on the Tamiami Trail, I always had 2 five gallon tanks filled in the trunk.
I have been on Neveda’s loneliest road several times, by myself. I enjoy road trips with or without family and friends. Traveling by myself is therapy for me. I know how to change a flat tire and having AAA and a concealed weapons permit helps add to my peace of mind 😁
The drive from Anchorage, Alaska to the Kenai Peninsula, south of the city, is quite unique and very spectacular.
I was driving on one of the longest stretches of road with no gas stations, located in Utah, and I almost did run out of gas. I literally coasted into the station on fumes. I was praying that if I did run out of gas that a highway patrol officer would come to my rescue.
The "40 Mile Desert". I did that cruise to and from California on I-80. 1st time was during the day. i made sure I timed it so the return was at night. It was in June lol.
I have driven or ridden the Million Dollar Highway many times over the last 40+ years. It's gorgeous. Luv it! Amazing scenery that changes by month. And they added a pulloff and educational signage at Red Mountain Mining Interpretive Site where you can see former mine structures and enjoy the vegetation. Of the places I've driven, this is my favorite.
I'd nominate US60 between Globe, AZ and Show Low, AZ. Breathtaking.
I nominate highway 4 between San Ysidro and Los Alamos in New Mexico. The Jemez mountains are incredible, go on a weekend and get a Pueblo burger from the roadside stands, you'll pass Battleship Rock and Valles Caldera (our other mega volcano after Yellowstone). I absolutely love it but I may be biased because I worked there. The rocks are bright red if you make it during the golden hour.
I drove through Valles Caldera one summer when I had a son doing a summer internship at the lab. You're right, it was very pretty and I remember the reddish colored rocks on the west end.
You forgot to go soak in the Jemez hot springs.
As a child my family always drove to Florida from New Jersey and it would take a full day but it was always much more fun then flying. We had family living in Florida and it was honestly just a good place to vacation
Driven most of these stunning roads. Since I now live in the Clear Lake Volcanics section of the North California Coast Ranges, even a drive to the grocery store is scenic, never mind the drive over the mountains and down the Russian River valley to the coast!
Old Mine Road..In NEW JERSEY, 50 miles from NYC...I lived in the Water Gap forest for 22 years.. 7 big waterfalls on route 209 within 12 miles..
Once on a trip to Niagara Falls, I took my family for a day to a place called Letchworth State Park in the state of New York and it was worth it, about 90 minutes drive from Niagara. It’s been called the Grand Canyon of the East, and justifiably because it’s quite large. Definitely worth spending a day there.
Highway patrol will stop and help you. They carry a few extra gallons.
It might take a while for one to pass, so you can also call AAA.
You can also hitch a ride with a truck driver to the next truck stop and see about paying someone to give you a ride back. At least that was my experience years back when I ran out of gas occasionally. Things might be less friendly these days.
You must be prepared to drive The Loneliest Road, always make sure you have a full tank of gas, extra water for the car and some kind of food and water for you because anything can happen, there is no cell service and you could sit on the side of the road for hours before you even see a trucker much less traffic... Its kind of scary for a solo woman... But Hwy 50 is a beautiful road trip. From Sacramento through the lush green mountains of Tahoe to the barren deserts of southern Navada is a real sensory experience.
Coal mines are still being used in West Virginia. It’s such a waste though as the coal is pretty much gone at this point and nobody really buys it anymore. Every state has switched to more efficient forms of fuel. Every miner has some form of black lung there or is hooked on some kind of drug. Black lung is caused by coal dust in the air. Coal dust is too big for a body to get rid of and it sticks around in the lungs. This causes all kinds of problems for people so causes infection points and eventually cancer.
I lived in Carmel Valley which is close to Big Sur. It was beautiful!! Loved living there!
The Pacific Coast Highway takes you through 3 States and each of those States are three states of difference within them. Oregon coast is incredibly beautiful, go east over the Coast Range and into the Willamette Valley, the Paradise at the End of the Oregon Trail. Then go East down the Columbia Gorge to the dry lands of Wheat farms and cattle ranching strong with the Blue Mountains covered with Ponderosa Pine. See why the Pioneers feared to be caught in these mountains! Then down into the great valley to the Idaho border!
I live in Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania is a beautiful state, there are hundreds of miles of mountains and Wilderness and Wildlife and many hundreds of waterfalls. There is a lot to see and do we also have theme parks like Hershey Park and Dorney Park and we have the Pennsylvania Amish in Lancaster. We also have absolutely delicious food in the state of Pennsylvania. ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻👍🏻
lol, I love that when you think you've found your favorite (state, views, road or...whatever), there's another one that makes you question your choices. 😅 You really can't know until you've lived it.
I live across the street from an entrance to blue ridge parkway. Nice to go to after a frustrating day at work. I keep a camping chair in my trunk
I live close to the Blue Ridge Parkway and it's a GREAT drive! Especially in fall.
Pennsylvania is Beautiful. I lived in Potter county for 15 years it is absolutely Beautiful there are more wild animals there then people ❤
Dude i've done all these, and by far, Cali is the PRETTIEST state, tbh, It has all in one together, Pacific Coast Highway is just AMAZING.
Just remember to drive from the west coast to the east coast on Highway 20 the longest road in America takes 4 days with only stops for eating and a little sleep
Oregon and Washington state are generally equivalent in sheer overall beauty. Where Washington edges in front of Oregon is the Hoh rain forest and Mt Rainier National Park. Washington is more diverse in the types of Ecosystems.
When driving the Pacific Coast Hwy you always drive from north to south, There are so, so many places you will want to pull over and enjoy the view. You must cross traffic to access the turnouts if traveling from the south. This is very dangerous on a road where every driver is looking at the scenery, and not the road.
Live near Blue Ridge Parlway. Amazingly beautiful
It is a beautiful country. Our National Park system is one of the few things I can be super proud of as an American.
Also as Americans we get it wrong all the time. Appalachia. It's not "apple-ay-shuh", "it's apple-at-cha" The more you know.
I am very fond of Texas ranch country driving on state highway 16 north of 1-10 to I-20...
The hill country is BEAUTIFUL!!! Especially in the spring with the fields of Bluebonnets.
It would be extremely difficult to choose "the most beautiful" area/drive in the US. I've been in most regions of the US and each one was fascinating.
Texas with the fields of bluebonnets, Northern California PCH, Washington state Camano Island and the San Juan Islands, Florida's Gulf Coast, are some of my favorites!!
There are so many beautiful roads both on this list and not on this list but in my opinion they missed one that would be somewhere between 3rd and 8th. The Bold Coast Scenic Byway in Maine along the rocky coast all the way to Canada. Its stunning and different then any of the other roads.
I have been over all the western scenic byways. All of them, from the Arctic Ocean to both Baja and mainland Mexico. I ride motorcycles and hate traffic. You can't enjoy the scenery while dodging cars. So my views are biased.
66 is a tourist trap and mostly boring interstate. Blue Ridge too much traffic.
Hwy 50 is very cool. Thru the Great Basin Nat Park. Called The Big Empty. If you turn off 50 it gets really empty. 50 is the busiest hwy out there. Go ahead and lay down on the centerline and take a pic.
Going to the Sun, spectacular but go early, like before 6am.
Pacific Coast... skip south Calif. Way to much traffic. Do the Lost Coast.
Enter at Ferndale CA - Petrolia - Honeydew and come out thru Redwoods to 101 and north thru Oregon. Towards the upper half of OR you can't see the ocean for the houses. North of Vancouver WA it again is lovely old forests and logging towns along the coast onto the Olympic Península.
Best long road trips. 89 and 101 Mexico to Canada. 93 Los Vegas to Canada. 95 from Winnemucca to Canada
Boise ID thru Sun Valley and north. 20-75-93-12-95 The Grand Loop ... many variations. Weeks and weeks of stunning scenery.
My state. Very overlooked by tourism. Most tourist go to Colorado, thankfully. It's stunning here.
ruclips.net/video/bU6VkSLO7uI/видео.html
Where I live. The Palouse is on the Idaho Washington border. Fingers of farmland encroach on the mountains.
ruclips.net/video/misDZjz55tQ/видео.html
I know many of those farms. As a photographer I hate those wind generators. And yes it really looks like this. Not enhanced photos. The magic hour is just that gorgeous.
The only one of these drives that I haven't driven is the Old Mine Rd. The "loneliest highway" is not particularly scenic and doesn't belong on this list. The other 8 are all good choices. The worst omission is Beartooth Scenic Hwy from Red Lodge, MT to Yellowstone NP. Other shorter drives that are highly worth are the North Shore of Lake Superior in MN, Needles Highway, the Wildlife Loop, and Iron Mountain road, which can be driven as a loop in Custer State Park SD, the Road to Hana in Hawaii, and Monument Valley in AZ. There are many more, but those are some that I have driven and recommend.
Having done most of the PCH drive a few times it is stunning and worth a top place on this list, but how in the hell did the road to Hana in Hawaii not make this list?!!!
Same reason no Alaska road trips are included.
Driving through America really is the best thing you can do when you visit us. The more driving you do the more you will understand us. We are a driving culture. Don't just go to the major cities and major tourist areas. Get off the highway and see the backroads, the little towns of America are the best part of America. Not the big cities.
Went to Oregon once by chance, ended up between Portland (not anyplace I cared for)and Astoria. Very pretty. Out in ares most people don't go.
I live in the Florida Keys. It really is a unique area with plenty to see.
You need to check out the New England coast.
I live in the boring midwest but there are some nice drives along parts of the great lakes.
HWY 41 going into Yosemite is epic
You need to take the trip on the weekend. That Route 66 has flea markets. Once a year, everybody up-and-down. Route 66 has flea markets that you can stop at and they are awesome.
It's crazy how the Road to Hana is never on these lists. That is the best drive in the US
North Carolinian here, and I can confirm the Blue Ridge Parkway is very impressive.
Check out Frenchtastic goes to Georgia. She visits Rock City and Ruby Falls
My country is so beautiful...........period.
It is
I live in Oklahoma City about four blocks south of route 66 it's also Northwest 39th Street
Love your reactions.
I have driven some parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway, but the end to end 35 mph speed limit gets a bit tedious after a while.
Mostnof it isn45
@@janettemosher9940 HUH???
I went to college in Los Angeles and grew up an hour north of Seattle, I used to drive the entire P.C.H. a couple times a year and have done various portions of it on many occasions. It's a beautiful drive, well worth it.
There are so many other scenic drives that didn’t make this cut.
Nothing curious about that loneliest road! That is as close to desert you will find in the US!
gaulkers need to drive the speed limit. they become road hazards if not.
Yes, of cource
California # 1❤
If you run out of gas on the loneliest road? They find your skeletal remains some months later.
Watch these videos in at least 1080p.
They didn’t include Alaska or Hawaii? Every region has beautiful scenery, but Alaska is on another level. It’s so grand that you barely believe it’s real. In the Lower 48 states, California is hard to beat for its diversity of beautiful scenery. There are good reasons why tourists come from all over the world. Don’t believe the haters.😉
Your links on the RUclips home page about the United States are using the 1795-1818 fifteen star United States flag. You might want to update that.
If you run out of gas, you'd better hope you have AAA. If you're a member of AAA you call them and they will bring gas, tow you to somewhere, jump your battery, or bring you a new battery. I wouldn't ever
let my membership expire,
On the Loneliest Road, Air Patrol monitors the road for speeders and breakdowns.
"What happens if you fun out of gas?".
Well, vultures have to eat too.
Get an rv lol
When are you going to come to USA? Think of the you tube filming you can do
You come to the U.S. I will drive you around West Virginia we don't call it almost heaven for nothing
Do NOT attempt trip #1 in an EV.
This is one of many reasons that a lot of Americans doesn't even own a passport you can travel your entire life and not see all this country has to offer
Why do so many posters keep showing the same videos over and over and over ? Your audience is mostly North American... We know what it all looks like. Sorry Andre ...but you need a new subject ..
I live about 2 hours north of the million dollar highway in Colorado. We just drove over it about a month ago
