Back in the day, I used to spend a lot of time in Texas for business. Mostly Dallas and Houston, but I would also get out to the country, like Odessa. West Texas may not be for everyone, but I thought it was beautiful country with some of the best people I've ever met.

Years ago, before kids, my wife and I took the ferry from Vancouver up to Prince Rupert in British Columbia. We then drove across (in our new BMW) to Prince George and then down the through Jasper and Banff National parks (stayed at Lake Louise). We cut back across through Kamloops to Vancouver and back home to SoCal. Spectacular Drive!!

Nice pic of Peyto Lake! I saw it in 2013 when on a tour by Canada Rail.

I don't know if folks here would consider it "epic", but my longest auto trip was in 2005 when I undertook a drive from Dallas, Texas to attend 4 different reunions scattered throughout the eastern US and Canada. I drove a total of 11,750 miles over 85 days, covering a figure-8 route extending from Dallas to Cartwright, Labrador and back. The drive was punctuated by a number of extended overnight stays, though: a week in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario (reunion); 2 weeks in Detroit, Michigan (reunion); a week in French Lick, Indiana (scheduled delay); 4 days in Vermont (scheduled delay); and a week in Cartwright, Labrador (reunion). Visitations of friends and relatives throughout the route also added overnights of a few days here and there. (The 4th reunion was at a time and place--Arkansas--that didn't fit my driving schedule, so it was attended by a train ride down from Chicago, Illinois and back.) Photos of that trip are here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/...s/72157631809934247/. And this is the route:
2005 auto trip map by David Casteel, on Flickr (The numbered points do reflect the order along the route, but because the orange section in Labrador wasn't on the maps I had to start and end the mapping there--just start at 42 in Dallas and head for 110 in Labrador, then pick up 1 and follow it back to Dallas.)

I am unmarried and drove that route mostly alone. From Maine up to Labrador and into Quebec on return I was accompanied by a couple in another vehicle. I have done several other fairly long solo auto trips, but that one was by far the most extensive.

I drove from New York to South Dakota thru the badlands also the black hills then to devils tower and down to the Rocky Mountains.It was an awesome trip.I've driven down the pacific coast highway also California is a beautiful state to bad its run by a bunch of loons.

Anchorage to Fairbanks to Delta Junction to Glennallen, with a side trip to Valdez, then back to Anchorage. Some of the most beautiful scenery in North America. Just take your time and enjoy it. I've done it 3 times over the years and would do it again.

I took Hwy 93 just outside of Las Vegas, and headed north to the Canadian border.

A82 from Glasgow to Dalness, Scotland

Last year, I went on a truncated cross country tour in an SUV with my wife. From California to Main and back.

We had to cut out the northern states because we wanted to get ahead of winter. Then we had to cut out of the southern states because of a medical condition with my wife's relative.

44 days
9,223 miles
23 states plus Washington D.C.

Did national landmark and places of interest tours plus restaurants featured on Dives, Diners, and Drive-ins.

Did Yellowstone Park, Branson, MO, Maine lobsters, 36 oz steak at a Amarillo, Tx landmark, Tony Luke's in PA, etc. I did miss Para's Crave Pie in Georgia. I had it on my list.

^^^^^ Nice trip! People after my own heart.

The Kangamangus highway through the White Mountains in New Hampshire is beautiful.

Drove I40 and US66 from Greensboro, NC to Flagstaff, AZ twice with my sons. Lots of excursions and diner / truck stop meals. So fun.

Also drove from Flag up to Zion, UT. The drive along the Vermillion Cliffs may be my favorite of all time.

Going-to-the-Sun Highway, Glacier NP, MT. This was part of a motorcycle ride I took circa 1985, when I visited Capitol Reef, Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier.

One of my favorite drives is Hwy 141 south out of Grand Junction CO to 666 south to Cortez CO. Or, while on Hwy 141, continue on Hwy 145 outside of Naturita and go over to Telluride before continuing South to Cortez.

Another Amazing drive that sticks a knife thru the heart of Clevelanders

Stop off at Pfeiffer Beach. https://www.californiabeaches....each/pfeiffer-beach/

Head south, and have a meal at Nepenthe, preferably at an outside table watching the sunset. https://www.nepenthe.com

One of my favorite drives is Miami to Key West,FL on a nice sunny day. Beautiful water and island views.

No pictures, but going from Los Alamos to Albuquerque is a nice ride. Especially when a lightning storm is crossing the desert

Tijuana to Cabo San Lucas. You better like desert!

Taroko Gorge in Taiwan, West > East to Hualien.
