🌲 Forest
Journey through America’s wooded corridors with the Forest tag—featuring routes surrounded by dense trees, state forests, and national park lands.
The 🌲 Forest tag highlights routes that pass through densely wooded areas, national forests, or timber-rich landscapes. These drives are often characterized by towering trees, shaded corridors, and a sense of immersion in nature. Whether it’s a winding mountain road lined with evergreens or a backcountry highway flanked by deciduous woods, the forested environment defines the scenery.
These routes are especially vibrant in autumn, when foliage changes color, or in the spring and summer, when greenery is at its peak. Wildlife sightings, hiking trail access, and picnic areas are common features along many forest-tagged segments.
