Tired of the same old road trip spots? You’re not alone. This summer, ditch the tourist traps and explore lesser-known destinations that offer adventure, quiet, and the kind of views that make you forget your phone exists. With the right tires—like the RoadX RXQuest Family —you can go farther, stay longer, and take the road less traveled.
1. Marfa, Texas
A high desert town that feels like an art exhibit dropped in the middle of nowhere. It’s remote, it’s strange, and it’s absolutely worth the drive.
2. Letchworth State Park, New York
Known as the “Grand Canyon of the East,” this one is all waterfalls and winding roads. Ideal terrain for SUV tires with solid grip.
3. Great Basin National Park, Nevada
No crowds, no noise—just star-filled skies and ancient trees. You’ll need durable RT tires for the gravel access roads.
4. Ely, Minnesota
Gateway to the Boundary Waters. Quiet lakes, boreal forest, and some serious unplugged vibes.
5. Driftless Area, Wisconsin
It skipped the glaciers, which means rolling hills and winding roads. Great for a smooth ride with passenger tires.
6. Chiricahua Mountains, Arizona
Hoodoo rock formations and silent trails—way off the radar. Be ready with light truck tires if you plan to explore dirt roads.
7. Cumberland Island, Georgia
Wild horses, empty beaches, and no cars allowed. Drive to the ferry port and escape into silence.
8. Sandpoint, Idaho
Lakeside beauty without the chaos of Tahoe. A great test for your tire balancing on long winding roads.
9. Mount Mitchell, North Carolina
The highest peak east of the Mississippi. Twisty roads and foggy mornings demand grip and balance.
10. Gila Cliff Dwellings, New Mexico
History meets off-grid adventure. You’ll want to find a dealer before heading into terrain like this to make sure your tires are ready.
