What is "the scenic route"?
The scenic route refers to a path or road that is chosen for its attractive views or surroundings, rather than the fastest way to reach a destination. It often winds through natural landscapes, such as mountains, forests, or along the coast, offering a more leisurely and visually pleasing journey. People may take the scenic route to enjoy the beauty of the environment, rather than focusing on reaching their destination quickly. This route can be slower but provides a more enjoyable and peaceful travel experience.
Examples
During our vacation, we decided to take the scenic route along the coast to see the ocean and cliffs.
The tour guide recommended taking the scenic route through the mountains instead of the highway to appreciate nature's beauty.
