Traveling the scenic Great River Road will take you through major cities like St. Louis<\/a> and New Orleans<\/a> along with small sleepy towns throughout ten U.S. states. Rather than being one continuous road, this scenic byway is made up of two main routes on either side of the river that encompass a network of roads. Regardless of the route you choose, most travelers take at least two weeks to complete the long journey. If you\u2019re looking for a long, exciting group vacation\u2014Great River Road is the trip to take.<\/p>\n

      How Should I Travel Around The Great River Road?<\/a><\/h2>\n

      Organizing an old-fashioned car caravan is a popular way to travel for road trips. There\u2019s some charm of loading up in someone\u2019s Camry and riding between the Midwest and the South, but it isn\u2019t always the most efficient way to travel (Just think of the leg cramps from being stuck in the backseat too long). Large groups of travelers may want to opt to book a minibus or charter bus rental for their trip instead.<\/p>\n
