As you're sipping your iced teas and eating your cheeseburgers this weekend, you may also want to start planning out your summer. Of course there will be barbecues and beach days, but perhaps you'll want to take a road trip or two as well. If that's the case, Travel + Leisure has a list that you may find helpful.
The Texas Hill Country Bluebonnet Tour could be fun: "Lady Bird Johnson led a campaign to beautify American cities, and in her native Texas, vast gardens of bluebonnets were planted across Texas Hill Country. While there are countless nature trails, first-timers should start in Austin and take U.S. 290 west to Johnson City’s lovely Wildflower Loop. Then hightail it along U.S. 281 N to the town of Burnet, the official bluebonnet capital of Texas."
Or maybe you'd like to head in the opposite direction and check out Alaska: "The trip from Anchorage to Valdez, which connects Glenn and Richardson highways, runs past prehistoric glaciers and into mountain ranges with so many 14,000-foot peaks a lot of them haven’t even been named. Along the 300-mile route, the trans-Alaska pipeline pops in and out of view. The final approach to Valdez includes a 25-mile drop from Thompson Pass (2,805 elevation) to sea level through the waterfalls of Keystone Canyon, opening into Prince William Sound."
