Default What are the best, scenic driving routes across the USA?

November 3rd I am headed to Buffalo, NY from Las Vegas, NV.
I have made this trip 3x.
What would be the most scenic way to get to NY from Vegas considering the weather and season? should i drive to New Orleans then up through Virgina to see the colors of the trees in the Appalachia?

here is a list of routes i have already taken:

1st trip, buffalo, chicago, salt lake city, vegas.
cons - chicago traffic. pro's - seeing the awesome West.

2nd trip, vegas, grand junction, denver, indianapolis, buffalo
cons - past denver boring as ****. pro's - got to drive through awesome utah and over the rockies.

3rd trip, buffalo, st louis, tusla, albuquerque, vegas.
cons - again, boring until st. louis. pros - followed route 66

4th trip, ???


i would like the trip to take 6 days or less. what are your suggestions for a cool cross-country scenic trip?

If you hit Memphis - Louisville - Columbus you'll get to see a lot of scenic TN and WV.

I live in the south and have driven the Interstates from N.O.L.A. through VA many times. Colors just turning - some yellow and fewer reds, still mostly green.

The interstate route - I-59, I-81 is quite repetitive - pine forests and low mountain ridges most of the 1000 miles. The one time I drove from Reno to D.C. I took the middle route through Utah, Denver, St. Louis, Louisville, Lexington, Charleston. The last part of that trip was spectacular scenically. The Utah, Wyoming and Colorado interesting as well but the Denver - St. Louis stretch - oh my goodness - try a few Jolts to keep your eyes open.

I recommend that route -I would definitely do it again (though I would use autopilot through Kansas.)
