This Friday is the first day of summer. So the website Wallet Hub just released its annual list of the best and worst states to take a summer road trip.
They base it on 33 different metrics, like:
Traffic
Gas prices
Number of attractions
Quality of the roads
Weather
And this year, North Carolina took down Wyoming to snag the top spot.
Three new states also made the top ten: Virginia in 4th, Oregon in 8th, and Wisconsin in 10th place.
(Florida, Washington, and Colorado dropped out of the top ten.)
The top ten states to take a summer road trip in 2019 are:
North Carolina
Wyoming
Minnesota
Virginia
Texas
New York
Louisiana
Oregon
Utah
Wisconsin.
Rhode Island finished dead last again. Because does driving through a state that’s 37 miles wide even COUNT as a “road trip”?
The ten worst road trip states this year are:
Rhode Island
Delaware
Connecticut
Hawaii
Arkansas
Indiana .
Kansas
Mississippi
Alabama
Montana.
