Best and Worst States to Visit on Your Road Trip This Summer

A family going for a walk on a sunny day.

Planning the perfect summer road trip is no easy feat. You need the right mix of budget-friendly accommodations, scenic drives and fun things to do at each stop along the way.

If you’re struggling to plan a trip, you can find inspiration and ideas from a recent Wallethub report ranking every state by key road trip metrics like how many national parks and attractions it has, how safe it is to drive there, and the cost of gas and accommodations. With over 32 metrics in total, the report gave every state a summer road trip score to help travelers figure out which destinations are worth the drive and which states might be better to skip.
