All too often, the main focus of a trip is the destination, but what about the journey?

While taking a plane to get where you need to go can be timely and convenient, nothing beats the unexpected beauty you encounter during a road trip.

Just as your perspective shifts and it becomes less about getting from point A to point B as quickly as possible, and more about the magic you experience along the way, the simple trip you planned suddenly becomes an adventure.

Sleeping on a flight as you barrel through endless clouds surrounded by strangers, turns into a front row seat at the most stunning show nature has to offer, all from the comfort of your own vehicle.

Look over there! A crystal clear body of water lined with small cabins surrounded by lush trees. No! The other window! Mountains as tall as the eye can see with buffalo stampeding the valley below. And don't even get us started on America's never-ending roadside attractions.

While each road presents its own beautiful traveling experience, there is one drive in each state known for providing the MOST scenic views around.

According to a list compiled by Thrillist, the most scenic drive in all of Pennsylvania is Route 6.

Here's what Thrillist had to say about the most scenic drive in the entire state:

"Spanning a butt-numbing 400+ miles of Northern Pennsylvania from the Ohio border to the New York borders, Route 6 more than makes up for its lack of Amish furniture with a dizzying array of Pennsylvanian beauty. Expect to stop frequently, lest you miss sights like the jaw-dropping Pine Creek Gorge—Pennsylvania’s verdant answer to the Grand Canyon—or a chance to walk 300 feet above a canopy of trees on the Kinzua Sky Walk, a 2,000-foot-long viaduct built in 1882 (don’t worry, Pennsylvania has a storied tradition of structural engineering)."
