As children, many of us have taken road trips with our parents and significant others to different areas around the world (sometimes forced, sometimes voluntarily). But one thing is for sure, you often find some beautiful scenery along the way. For some of our followers, their favorite scenic drives were experienced on a trip to Alberta, Canada and Kerry, Ireland. For others, they’re right here in the great state of Minnesota.
