What is the difference between an All-American Road and National Scenic Byway?
All-American Roads are the “cream of the crop” of the National Scenic Byways. They typically have a more developed level of traveler facilities, services and interpretive opportunities. They are also considered to be a “destination unto themselves.” An example is Route One, Big Sur Coast Highway. National Scenic Byways have at least one special, or “intrinsic”, quality of regional significance.
