Travelling through the Monterey County in California or just following the scenic routes (road tripping delight), be sure to take a 17 mile drive around the small Pebble Beach community and take in the magnificent scenic coast.

On the chance that one might be strolling through the municipality of Hemsedal (Buskerud), Norway ... take a side trip to see these bungalows and resorts with waterfalls right in their backyard in addition to the stunning views. Sky diving is optional.

What is it about water and mountains that make up such a fantastic chunk of the road trip experience?
