Road Trip Planner: B&Bs Along Famous Byways

NEW YORK - June 3, 2013 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, NY—Did you know it was the 30th anniversary of the film, Vacation? What better way to commemorate the release of that classic comedy than by taking a cue from the Griswolds and planning a road trip of your own. While the idea of spending hours in a car might seem a little claustrophobic, it’s an adventurous way to get up close and personal with the wondrous, natural beauty of North America.

BnBFinder inns (http://www.BnBFinder.com) located along some of the country’s most famous byways will give you a chance to stretch out and relax before and after mapping out a day of sightseeing. If you’re looking for a little inspiration, here are a few road trip ideas to get your motor running:

Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway. Also known as the “highway of waterfalls,” Oregon’s famous byway stretches 172 miles in its southern region and features a rabbit ear-shaped Cascade Mountain peak created by a volcano 7 million years ago. Want to see two rivers collide? Park your car and observe the fascinating display as the Little River and the North Umpqua River meet head-on.
