Resources to Help You Plan Your Adventure

Planning is part of the fun! These resources can provide valuable information and inspiration as you map out your next great American road trip.

Travel and recreation information for seniors is available at the National Park Service. Their website is the best place to learn about the America the Beautiful Senior Pass and get detailed information on accessibility within the parks.

For lifestyle and community resources, AARP offers extensive articles on travel, including road trip itineraries and money-saving tips for seniors. Their local chapters can also be a source of community and connection.

If your travels inspire a desire to give back, opportunities to volunteer can be found via AmeriCorps Seniors. You might discover programs in the very communities you visit, adding another layer of purpose to your journey.

For local programs and smaller scenic routes, check your destination’s state and city tourism board websites. They often have wonderful, lesser-known drives and suggestions for lodging and dining.
