American Road Magazine Spring 2023 Zurück Ausgabe

Are you ready, Teddy? Our Spring 2023 issue of American Road celebrates that incomparable creation of President Theodore Roosevelt—the national monument

It's an issue that finds its first fire in the Pacific Northwest, where Mount St. Helens almost blew Washington State off the map in May 1980, then heads south to Wyoming where Steven Spielberg's cosmic classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind made a pop-culture mountain out of Devils Tower in 1977. It digs into Oregon Caves looking for milkshakes, dines at Vermilion Cliffs in the shadow of Harrison Ford, and finds more than peanuts at Washington Carver National Monument in Diamond, Missouri.

Driving through Nebraska? Take a literary trip with “Sleepy Hollow” author Washington Irving to Scotts Bluff. Pausing in New Mexico?
