Ready for a road trip? These are the 10 most scenic drives in the US
An Arizona road was named the most scenic road in the United States, according to a new study.
The Red Rock Scenic Byway along state Route 179 in Sedona is an iconic drive through a red sandstone canyon that measures just 7.5 miles. It takes about 20 minutes to drive, but you'll likely want to spend more time to take in the sights.
The study, published by personal injury law firm Jason Stone Injury Lawyers, analyzed the nation's roadways based on scenic factors that could distract drivers' attention. Roads were ranked based on how many related hashtags each of them has on Instagram and the number and quality of TripAdvisor ratings.
