## Resource

In this episode, guest host NY Vinnie turns the spotlight on America’s scenic byways and the unforgettable road trip experiences waiting beyond the interstate. Our guest, Sharon Strouse, executive director of the National Scenic Byway Association, shares how more than a thousand designated byways across the country connect travelers with historic towns, breathtaking landscapes, local culture, and hidden roadside treasures. From the Cascade Loop in Washington and the North Shore Scenic Drive along Lake Superior to Amish Country in Ohio and Indiana, the conversation highlights routes where the journey itself becomes the destination. Listeners discover how scenic byways offer opportunities to explore small-town America, sample regional cuisine, experience seasonal beauty such as fall foliage, and uncover stories that can’t be found on major highways. Perfect for travelers seeking a slower, more meaningful road trip, this episode celebrates the roads less traveled and the adventures that await around every bend.
