The Midwest is the crossroads of America—a region where long, open highways meet friendly towns, rolling farmland, and Great Lakes shorelines. Covering Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan, the Midwest offers a rich blend of rural charm, industrial heritage, and natural beauty. Whether you’re navigating the wide cornfields of Iowa or hugging the rocky shores of Lake Superior, the region’s roads are built for exploration.
This is where iconic byways like Historic Route 66 and the Great River Road converge with scenic loops around glacial lakes and wooded hills. In places like southern Missouri and northern Wisconsin, the terrain becomes unexpectedly dramatic—filled with bluffs, rivers, and forested stretches. Meanwhile, cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, and Cleveland serve as vibrant urban hubs offering cultural detours, architectural wonders, and food scenes worth the stop.
From Michigan’s winding coastal routes and ferry-linked peninsulas to Ohio’s Amish country and Indiana’s covered bridge trails, the Midwest is full of surprises. It’s a region best experienced slowly, with the windows down and a cooler in the backseat. These are the roads that define the heartland—and they’re ready for your next great American drive.
