Half the fun of a long drive is getting to see magnificent views along the way. While the views certainly don't impact the drive as much as the company (or who has control of the aux), they sure make time go faster.
Scenic views are not something you have to hope for if you traveling along one specific road in Illinois, as stunning sights are simply guaranteed.
So, what are you waiting for? It's time to get on the road again (especially if you just can't wait to get on the road again) and we're going to tell you exactly where to drive for the most beautiful traveling experience!
According to a list compiled by Cheapism, the most scenic highway in all of Illinois is the Ohio River Scenic Byway.
Why?
Two words. Great. Plains. Just trust us (and Cheapism, of course).
Here's what Cheapism had to say about what makes this legendary, scenic road so special:
"Illinois contains only 188 miles of the nearly 1,000-mile Ohio River Scenic Byway, but the route passes through a beautiful region of southern Illinois, full of natural scenery and historical attractions. Don't miss Garden of the Gods in Shawnee National Forest or the statue of Superman in the small town of Metropolis."
