Yellowstone National Park
The United States is packed with stunning national parks, ideal for outdoor activities and overnight camping trips. Yellowstone, the world’s first ever national park, is a haven for nature lovers thanks to its array of wildlife – including bears and bison – as well as its turquoise geysers and dramatic canyons. Visit for the day or pitch up a tent in one of the designated campsites.
New Orleans
The deepest of Deep South cities, and one of America’s most vibrant, the Big Easy is a natural endpoint for southern road trips. Its melting pot culture is evident everywhere, from the diverse architecture to the fizzing collision of musical styles (jazz, blues, r'n'b, rock, hip-hop… everybody's in the pool here). Head to the atmospheric French Quarter for live jazz and spicy local delicacies, or join in with the raucous street parties if you’re visiting around Mardi Gras.
Monument Valley
Monument Valley plays tricks on you. One moment it reminds you of old Westerns. The next moment it reminds you of eerie sci-fi imagery, like the blasted deserts of Blade Runner 2049. Located on the border of Arizona and Utah, and part of the Navajo Tribal Park, it’s a red sand landscape littered with incredible sandstone formations. Just one road runs through it, and while hiking, horseback and jeep tours are available, driving allows you to cover more ground. With one-way car hire you can re-create some of these epic drives!
