The staff at AskMen.com recently created a list of the world's 50 best road trips.
Ranging from the mountains of Montana and Wyoming to a breathtaking salt flat in Bolivia, the drives aren't to miss.
Beartooth Highway - Wyoming and Montana, USA: Once thought impassable, the Beartooth Mountains were first crossed in 1881.
Its stunning vistas had many early fans, who lobbied the government to pave a route after the advent of the motor vehicle. It took 55 years from the first crossing, but Congress relented in 1936, much to the delight of contemporary and future motorists.
Cabot Trail - Nova Scotia, Canada: Some residents of Cape Breton Island still speak Gaelic and Acadian French as their first languages, and their cultural influence is apparent in the small seaside fishing villages you find as you follow the Cabot Trail around the island.
However, it’s the massive cliffs that plummet into the ocean and the hilly forested interior full of moose and bear that will leave the most indelible memories.
Mongolian Steppe - Mongolia: A road trip to Mongolia has become something of a thing for eager young European travelers, who have virtually naught to do but drive east for a long time.
Lucky them: Traversing Mongolia’s high grasslands by vehicle is – and all respect to Genghis and his horses – the best way to see the vastness of the country.
