So you want to road trip this summer? Well, we regret to inform you that this is no longer an original, outdoorsy, “So free-spirited of you,” idea. According to a recent study by Wallethub, 75% of American adults have one planned. While we are big proponents of the all-American road trip, let us lead you in the right direction so you can actually experience “the open road.” Taking into consideration traffic, gas prices, lodging costs, activities, and other factors, these states were named the best and the worst for a road trip this summer. Do these rankings affect your route? Send this post to someone you’re plotting a road trip with and consider taking the road less traveled to truly enjoy some solitude this summer. ✍️: serenatara 📸: Dave Soldano Images/Moment/Getty Images - Anna Gorin/Moment/Getty Images #roadtrip #summertravel #traveladvice #ustravel
