America 3 most scenic roads ?
In your opinion, what are the 3 most scenic, gorgeous roads in the US that somebody visiting the country shouldn't miss and why (surrounding landscape, wether urban or rural etc.?)? 
Please share your experience! |

Youre thinking of either Kanan Road or Las Virgines that leads to PCH. |

Wow no one has mentioned the Blue Ridge Parkway. The parkway is like 469 miles long? There is many amazing views along the parkway as well.
The Great River Road in Western Wisconsin.
Route 66
