Where it’s always 70 and sunny

Muggy summers and soggy springs have you dreaming of a perfect year of weather? Climate scientist and map maker Brian Brettschneider plotted out a year-long road trip across North America, where you’ll always be basking in 70-degree weather.

Not too hot, not too cold

I must admit, a year full of 70-degree days sounds lovely. The catch, of course, is all that time you’ll spend driving. There are a few routes to choose from. Two of them clock in under 8,000 miles, and one adds an East Coast trek for a total of 8,466 miles.

The coastal route starts in Florida, goes up to the Pacific Northwest and winds back down the Intermountain West. The trip ends in San Diego. Depending on the month, you’re looking at 81 to 2,388 miles on the road.

The interior route goes from south Texas toward the Canadian border. It heads east, then through the northern Rockies, south through the western Great Plains and finally through the Desert Southwest. The most you’ll drive in a month with this route is 1,255 miles.

Sounds fun, eh?

Want to drive through Canada, too? There’s a plan for that 13,909-mile journey as well.
