1) Portland,
Oregon
for its towering volcanic mountains and sprawling evergreen forests

for year-round Mediterranean climate and mountainside surfing
4) Moab, Utah
for the otherworldly Arches and Canyonlands National Parks
5) Seattle, Washington
for being surrounded by mountains and two bodies of water
6) Juneau, Alaska
for whale watching, dog sledding, and unmatched glacier views
7) Boston, Massachusetts
for its ample outdoor spaces and easy access to the Atlantic
8) Hilton Head, South Carolina
for its beautiful beaches and live oak forests
9) Cody, Wyoming
for its adjacency to Yellowstone National Park and Bighorn Basin
10) Portland, Maine
for its New England-style fishing piers in its beautiful bayPlanning your route is just the first step of getting ready for a cross-country road trip—you’ll also have to make sure that your car is ready to hit the road. Let
