The Back Road

Product Information

The Natchez Trace isn’t your average scenic route: because of its natural beauty and historic value, it’s run by the National Park Service! The Natchez Trace is a meandering parkway that runs just over 400 miles from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee. Many of the people who complete the journey do so on bicycles or motorcycles, but, of course, it’s a great drive for motorists as well.

For Ellie Saunders, the truth about that night puts both her marriage and the safety of her children in jeopardy–she has to protect her family, no matter what the cost. And Ellie isn’t the only one with something to hide. She and her sister Leo believe they have put their troubled childhood behind them, but Leo’s quest for the truth reveals a terrible secret that has lain hidden for years. With a location near the equator, Sri Lanka has a hot and humid climate. At the higher elevations, however, it is cool; the humidity is lower in the northern and central parts of the country. The average annual temperature is 32C (90F) in the lowlands and 21C (70F) in the higher mountainous regions, though it can get chilly in the hill country at night. Not only are there views of majestic mountains, valleys, and snakelike rivers, but you’ll also find a variety of wildlife and plants. You will see the pine trees, the flowers and grass of the tundra, and so much more I can’t begin to identify. Personally, when traveling the road I’ve seen moose, elk, deer, coyotes, bighorn sheep, marmots, chipmunks, and all sorts of birds.You can take I-95 to get from one city in Maryland to another, but where’s the fun in doing that? If you are coming from Princess Anne, MD and want to go to Ocean City, one good option is to make your way to the Blue Crab Scenic Byway.

You need to go and go now, whilst there are fewer tourists visiting Sri Lanka. You will have a great time! The day climbing up to Nuwara Eliya is very challenging due to the heat and the ascent, but you can always get in the mini bus if it becomes too much. Suggestions Our new online dictionaries for schools provide a safe and appropriate environment for children. And best of all it's ad free, so sign up now and start using at home or in the classroom. There are more vista points to stop and soak it all in than I could even begin to highlight… but if you take it slowly and give yourself plenty of time to absorb the natural scenery surrounding you, you’re going to fall head over heels in love with Idaho, just like I did.Collocations are words that are often used together and are brilliant at providing natural sounding language for your speech and writing. Please be aware there are a large number of stray dogs in Sri Lanka, and you may encounter some during your trip. Our local operators are aware of this and we are monitoring any animal welfare concerns. During this trip (depending on the time of year), we visit Yala National Park, or alternatively Lunugamvehera or Udawalawe National Park, where clients may have the opportunity witness elephants, deer, leopards, and other Sri Lankan wildlife. A proportion of the trip costs will go towards the upkeep and maintenance of the National Park. The group flight from London typically arrives at Bandaranayake International Airport around lunchtime and we transfer to Sigiriya (approximately four hours). En-route we will stop for lunch in either Kurunegala or Dambulla depending on the flight arrival time. There are no required vaccinations. However, recommended vaccinations include tetanus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, rabies, tuberculosis and typhoid. You will also need a yellow fever vaccination certificate if you're arriving from a country with risk of yellow fever transmission or transiting for more than 12 hours through a country with risk of yellow fever transmission. Please confirm with your doctor or travel clinic.

There is a reason that the 5 hour scenic drive on the Sandhills Scenic Byway in Nebraska (yes, Nebraska!) is one of the top 10 scenic drives in the US. You’ll go over rolling hills, through a national forest, can see the famous Sandhill Crane Migration, drive over one of the world’s largest aquifers and see plenty of wildlife along the way. You’ll feel a world away from all your stresses and marvel at the pure wilderness and seemingly untouched nature. The hotel we typically use in Nuwara Eliya has been selected for the character of the premises and the appearance of its grounds, but the level of service is not always at the standard of the other hotels on this itinerary.Though only about 50 miles as the crow flies, the drive from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon to Flagstaff (or vice versa) requires over 200 miles and nearly four hours…. but what a breathtaking drive it is! I had a difficult time choosing between this drive and AZ Route 64, which runs parallel to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, but the diversity of the scenery and the sweeping panoramas along this drive helped it to win out.

Anyone who hightails it up to Alaska will be driving at some time, probably most times, on Alaska Route 1. Almost 600 miles long, it’s the main route from anywhere to Anchorage, the largest city. Most drives are on the Seward and Sterling highways, because from Anchorage to Homer, fisherman come in droves hoping to catch the king of fish, salmon. The road is not that wide, but the scenery is stunning as you follow along Turnagain Arm, through the Kenai forest from Seward to Soldotna, then along the Cook Inlet to Homer. Along the way you will see all kinds of wildlife from an abundance of birds to the huge Alaskan moose. A highway to the sky, Trail Ridge Road is the 48 mile portion of U.S. 34 between Estes Park and Grand Lake, Colorado. To me, this is one of the most beautiful stretches of road and mountains you will ever see.Ellie jumped as her mobile started to vibrate on the worktop next to her. Her breath caught, and her arm froze in mid‐air. She knew without looking who it would be.
