Use the paper maps to start then use other tools like google, google maps/earth and get a better idea if it's scenery you're interested in. Have fun! | |

| May 10, 2018 at 22:47 | comment | added | Dragonel | This was the first thing I thought of, but you need to be a little wary - some of the scenic routes I've tried in the past are miles and miles of woodland which is nice if you want to stop & camp under the trees but doesn't fit my definition of "scenic driving". I suggest you first use paper maps to locate possibilities, then use something like Google Earth to check out what they really look like. | |
