The National Scenic Byways Program is a U.S. initiative that recognizes and promotes scenic roads across the country. Established in 1991, the program aims to enhance travel experiences by highlighting routes that showcase America's natural beauty, cultural heritage, and historical significance. Byways designated as All-American Roads or Scenic Byways offer travelers unique landscapes and attractions. The program also supports local economies by encouraging tourism and preserving the scenic qualities of these routes, making them valuable for both residents and visitors alike.
