April is when the backroads really come alive. Patios open up, strawberries start showing up on menus, and small towns feel a little more awake again. If you’re looking for a slow Saturday (or Sunday) plan, here’s a full day mapped out with real stops worth the drive.

The backroads have you covered with itineraries to fit every level of adventure.

There’s no denying how much we love the backroads, so in honor of the month of love, we’ve put together ideas of ways to celebrate. Whether you’re with a significant other, a bestie, or just need some quality alone time, the backroads are calling your name.
