Summer Road Trip Idea: Drive the Great River Road!

Looking for a fun summer road trip?  Have you heard of the Great River Road?

You don’t have to look too far in this area for a trip full of scenic beauty, culture, history, and recreation.  Runde Auto Group would like to suggest possibly travelling the Great River Road at making that part of your summer or early autumn vacation.

The Great River Road National Scenic Byway passes through the Tri-State area following the course of the Mississippi River. The 3,000 mile road travels from northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico and takes about 36 hours of straight driving to travel north to south.

Most people take four to 10 days to make the journey, but you can plan a shorter trip and only drive a portion of it!

There are more than 70 designated Interpretive Centers along the way to help you make the most of your trip, as well as scenic overlooks and locks and dams to check out.

The route is marked with white signs with a green pilot’s wheel logo.
