Road trip stopping at major U.S. landmarks

After less than a minute, the genetic algorithm reached a near-perfect solution that makes a complete trip around the U.S.

 in only 13,699 miles (22,046 km) of driving. I’ve mapped that route below.

Note: There’s an extra stop in Cleveland to force the route between Vermont and Michigan to stay in the U.S. rather than

go through Canada. If you’re able to drive through Canada without issue, then take the direct route through Canada instead.

Assuming no traffic, this road trip will take about 224 hours (9.33 days) of driving in total, so it’s truly an epic undertaking

that will take at least 2-3 months to complete. The best part is that this road trip is designed so that you can start anywhere on the

route as long as you follow it from then on. You’ll hit every major area in the U.S. on this trip, and as an added bonus,

you won’t spend too long driving through the endless corn fields of Nebraska.
