road trip guide

Highway journey manual

A road trip guide is a book, pamphlet, or digital resource offering practical information for traveling by car—routes, attractions, lodging, restaurants, and local points of interest along the way.

Unlike general travel guides focused on destinations, road trip guides emphasize the journey itself: scenic drives, roadside stops, and regional quirks worth pulling over for.

We picked up a road trip guide to Route 66 before heading west.
