All too often, the main focus of a trip is the destination, but what about the journey?
While taking a plane to get where you need to go can be timely and convenient, nothing beats the unexpected beauty you encounter during a road trip.
Just as your perspective shifts and it becomes less about getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible, and more about the magic you experience along the way, the simple trip you planned suddenly becomes an adventure.
Sleeping on a flight as you barrel through endless clouds surrounded by strangers, turns into a front row seat at the most stunning show nature has to offer, all from the comfort of your own vehicle.
Look over there! A crystal clear body of water lined with small cabins surrounded by lush trees. No! The other window! Mountains as tall as the eye can see with buffalo stampeding the valley below. And don't even get us started on America's never-ending roadside attractions.
While each road presents its own beautiful traveling experience, there is one drive in each state known for providing the MOST scenic views around.
According to a list compiled by Thrillist, the most scenic drive in all of Nebraska is US Route 83.
Here's what Thrillist had to say about the most scenic drive in the entire state:
"US Route 83 runs 222 miles through the dazzling plains of Nebraska, carrying travelers on an oftentimes pink-hued road past stabilized dunes, river valleys, and homes designed by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Spend a night stargazing in the small town of Valentine, and from there make a quick detour West to sip apple wine at the Niobrara Valley Vineyards. If you can, do this route in the summertime. This is your chance to find out what “tanking” is."
