Il existe une route historique où il est encore possible de croiser la belle histoire d’un road trip américain authentique. De Boston, Massachussetts à Newport, Oregon, US Route 20 est longue 5 415 km. C’est la plus longue route des Etats-Unis. Mise en place en 1926, elle a été améliorée jusqu’à devenir une autoroute dans certains États. Néanmoins, il reste possible de suivre son tracé originel sur des routes à deux voies, traversant des villages et des petites villes du Midwest où les touristes se font rares et où les visiteurs sont toujours bienvenus.

Les paysages variés et pour certains époustouflants au long des 12 États qu’elle traverse font de la US Route 20 un voyage unique.
