The Top 10 Scenic Drives in the Northern Rockies has been unveiled as North America’s newest destination for domestic and international travelers who seek an authentic experience with scenic beauty, wildlife and recreation that delivers a connection with the environment, American Indian cultures and North American history. As well, this destination supports the principles of green travel.

The Top 10 Scenic Drives in the Northern Rockies spans five U.S. states (i.e., Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Washington and Oregon) and two Canadian provinces (i.e., British Columbia and Alberta) and is composed of four All-American Roads; 10 National Parks and Recreation Areas; and four connecting National Historic Trails.

On a side note, I’ve been to almost all of the Top 10 as a child and those memories still are with me 30+ yrs later (wow I’m old! lol ok so I’m 41, but those memories from my childhood still linger today)
