North Carolina Named 7th Best State for Summer Road Trips

Summer is the best time to travel due to warm weather, vacation time, and longer days! WalletHub set out to identify the most fun, scenic and wallet-friendly road-trip destinations. North Carolina took the 7th spot out of all 50 states. Analysts used three key dimensions to form the final list: costs, safety, and activities. Within the three dimensions, 32 metrics were scored on a 100-point scale that included average gas and accommodation prices, quality of roads and bridges, and number of attractions and national parks. It was noted that North Carolina was in the top 5 for most scenic byways. In fact, the state has a total of 62 byways that stretch from the mountains to the coast. Read the full report here.
