It passes Thunder Hole, where surf booms into a sea cave, the glacial Jordan Pond with its view of the Bubbles, and the auto road up Cadillac Mountain — the first place to see sunrise in the United States for part of the year.

What is an All-American Road?

All-American Roads are the top tier of America's National Scenic Byways. To earn the title a road has to be a destination in its own right — offering features so exceptional, across several intrinsic qualities (scenic, natural, historic, cultural, archaeological or recreational), that they can't be found anywhere else.
