When booking a cruise to Greece, most travelers picture themselves walking along serene alleyways between white-washed buildings, having freshly caught meals at seaside tavernas, or sunbathing on a tranquil beach.
10 Bucket-List Trips in the US You Should Take in Your Lifetime
05.09.2024 - 00:55 / cntraveler.com / Megan Spurrell
When someone says “bucket list trips,” it’s all too easy to imagine the journeys you’d like to take in the future, in some faraway someday to celebrate a momentous occasion or mark a sort of final hurrah. That’s all well and good, but as they say: There’s no time like the present. All across the vast United States lie innumerable opportunities to fulfill a childhood—or adulthood—dream, to experience the country in all its splendor, whether rural or urban, culinary or cultural, educational or just plain ol’ fun. At Condé Nast Traveler, we spend our days learning and writing about the best experience all 50 states have to offer—this is our ultimate wish list.
Here are 10 bucket list trips that Condé Nast Traveler editors want to take (or have taken) in their lifetime, from a bluegrass trail in Virginia and an excursion, to large-scale land art in Utah, to an expedition cruise in Alaska. Get inspired below and make sure you go prepared, whether you’re going solo or with your partner, on a road trip or backpacking.

I have always wanted to drive The Crooked Road through Virginia, which connects bluegrass and Appalachian music venues in Southwest Virginia—over 10 bigger venues, and about 50 smaller ones. I’d love to drive through the rolling hills, pulling over to places like the Floyd Country Store for a little dose of twang, and definitely for some whole-hog Virginia barbecue along the way. This year, 2024, marks the 20th anniversary of the trail, so I’m hoping to drive through during the fall when the festivities are in full swing. —Megan Spurrell, associate director of articles
If you want to feel like you’re on the edge of the world, while overlooking clear ocean water and a view that will leave your mouth gaped open, this long bluff that juts out into the Pacific Ocean is the place. Point Dume is European-feeling in the way its rugged cliff formations meet the beach, but it offers an uniquely beautiful experience to
