Are you looking to head in a new direction on your next road trip? Missouri may be just the place for you – it lays midway between the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains.

Along the way, Michigan and Illinois have a lot to offer travellers who are looking for something outside the box. Due to its rich farmland, this region has emerged as an agritourism hotspot – the newest travel trend in the 21st century.

Maybe venture off the interstate highways to explore the historic Route 66 from Chicago, IL, to St. Louis, MO. Route 66 was one of the United States’ first transcontinental highways and still holds that nostalgic feel of a bygone time.
