scenic highway
Beautiful driving path
A scenic highway is a road officially designated for its picturesque surroundings—mountain vistas, coastline, forests, or other natural beauty.
These routes often have restrictions on billboards and development to preserve views.
We took the scenic highway along the coast instead of the interstate.
The term sometimes applies informally to any road with attractive scenery.
