With gas nearing $4.50 a gallon, you'd think the romantic notion of a road trip had gone the way of woody station wagons and the Beach Boys' svelte physiques. But no: The highway still calls to travelers, with AAA predicting even more would-be Kerouacs hitting the highway this summer than last. Whether you're embarking on a classic Stateside sojourn such as Death Valley or going farther afield (Morocco's High Atlas mountains, anyone?), driving allows you to actually take that road less traveled. And we promise you'll never be forced to take off your shoes before embarking—unless you plan to stick your bare feet out the passenger window at 65 mph.
