World's most thrilling road trips

Route 66, America

　　Surely one of the most famous road trips ever, the Route 66 highway covers eight American states and more than 2,400 miles.

　　The book details some of Route 66's history, how the road which connects Chicago to Los Angeles was used by soldiers, dreamers and now nostalgia-seekers.

Icefield Parkway, Canada

　This 143-mile trip through the mountains and dense forests of Canada between Lake Louise and Jasper, is likely to be unforgettable. Snowcapped peaks, glinting glaciers, azure lakes and more wildlife than your average safari-the road from Lake Louise to Jasper is hard to top for scenic splendour.
