Escape Magazine: Autumn 2024 Edition

EXPLORE KENTUCKY

ON THE OPEN ROAD THE USA IS THE ULTIMATE SELF-DRIVE DESTINATION, AND THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.

POSTCARDS OF CALIFORNIA

Rolling along the California Coast with the top down in the winter sun? Bucket-list moment unlocked! Fill the folks at home with envy as you flood them with photos of an iconic trip from LA to San Francisco. Soak in the scenery as you sweep through Malibu , Santa Barbara , and Big Sur before a detour into the wilderness of Yosemite.

Bourbon, horses, fried chicken, and bluegrass are the icons that make Kentucky famous. Get a taste of them all on a self-drive that takes in city and country in equal measure. Kayak through flooded mines, turn laps in a Corvette, zip-line across tree-lined gorges, then toast it all with a fine bourbon while the band breaks out the banjo.

AMERICAN RHYTHMS Open your ears and lift your soul as you travel through the musical lands of the American South. Celebrate style-defining sounds from country and jazz to rock ‘n’ roll and the blues as you visit studios where icons were born and venues that launched careers . Do it all while grazing mouth-watering menus and taking in tales that shaped America.

ROUTE 66 Is there a more legendary highway than Route 66? The answer is ‘no’. Get your kicks as you pass through eight states on a 16-day road trip from Chicago to Hollywood, just as many have done before. Hear the blues, savour the barbecues, and shout your name into the Grand Canyon before putting it all on black in Las Vegas.

TEXAS ESCAPE Pick a car and grab a stetson for a two-week tour of the Lone Star State. Unleash your inner cowboy in Fort Worth, set your toes tapping in Austin, and sample Tex-Mex by the Alamo in San Antonio. Ride horseback on the sand at Galveston, say hello to mission control in Houston, and inspect an infamous grassy knoll in Dallas.
