USA landmarks road trip – Let’s explore here

When planning our USA landmarks road trip, we realised that as the United States is such a massive country, there’s just so many fantastic landmarks to see, how do we plan a route that would take them all in? After doing some research, we discovered that Dr. Randal S. Olson had already optimised a route back in 2015. Fantastic news!

This is the optimised road trip, travelling 13,699 miles (22,046 km), via the major popular landmarks in mainland USA.
