Travel -Wise Motorist Lists Ten
Alt Now Easily - Accessible to.. Those
On, Two -Weeks Vacation Schedule,
Thanks to Better Highways
By LEN BARNES
Getting there — to a vacation, that is — can be more than
half the fun, if you go by car. And if you include one of a hand-
ful of America's great drives iri your route.
Once accessible to only a few who had unlimited time, 4111
these «rives are now easy to reach for most Americans and
Canadians on a two-week Vacation, thanks to .distance -whit-
tling 'limited access, divided Interstate highways..
The writer has not driven every mile'of North America roads,
or even every route that has some fame qr 'is"beautiful. But I
1 recommend the following 10 as outstanding on anyone's
lY of great mo--"tor`irig experiences. a

CALIFORNIA'S OCEANS,,
ROAD--Numbered•US 101 with
frequent cuts west on Califor-
nia 1, this road curves through-
a variety of spectacular scen-
ery from sea level to 2,000 feet
and down again on .the way
from Los Angeles to San Fran-
cisco.
It goes through or past sand,
mountains, cliffs, +arroyos,
ocean, fishing villages, onion
fields, grape arbors, remote
and beautiful Big Sur country,
rock coves, crooked 'cypress
trees (among the world's old °
est living things) . and plenty
of palms.

CANADA'S BANFF -JASPER,
DRIVE — This road seems to--
have
ohave been built over animal...
trails, it turns so often as it
follows five- great river valleys
through a Virgin 'wilderness
along the most spectacular.
pbrtion of America's -grandest
mountain chain — the Cana-
dian Rockies.
Banff -Jasper has been called
the most scenic highway in
the world, and ,hundreds of
vari-shaped mountain peaks,
from needled spires artd in-
verted ice cream cones to saw-
toothed Files and .razorback
edges give this claim credence -
as theystand watch 'on both
sides.

COLORADO'S MILLION
DOLLAR -HIGHWAY -- -ny-
one• who picks just one Colo -
1r -ado highway will get argu-
ments, there are so many great
ones. But US,550 from Duran-
go to Ouray has got to make
even the ,most ° sophisticated
reat Drives
motorist catch his breath at
least once a minute:
Blasted out of sheer rock,
this -road- r-s:fust-enough
room for .two .cars to pass in
places, and a scarcity of guard
rails. In places top of the cliff
cannot be seen from one --side,
or bottom of the canyon on
the other. Its spectacular
switchbacks keep one con-
stantly In view of soaring
peaks.
FrLORID'S OVERS
HIGHWAY — One can go over
the Atlantic' Ocean in his car
for most of the way, from Mi-
ami to Key West on US 1.
Taking off on a series of
hurdles sometimes skipping at
water level, sometimes vault-
ing 75 feet above.rthe ocean,
this concrete thread holds to-
gether a necklace of 750 keys,
or small, low, narrow spits of
limestone, coral and sand that
poke their heads a, few feet
above salt water in the high -
