Backroads USA

- Season 1

(2013)

For many years, the Mohawk Trail served as a main trade route for the indigenous Atlantic tribes of North America. Tap into one of America's richest springs of historical significance with a journey down the legendary Mohawk Trail.

To this day, the resonance of music born of and inspired by the Mississippi Delta still clings thickly to the air like dew on morning leaves as you travel along and experience Highway 61, otherwise known as "The Blues Highway."

Hitch up your wagon and travel along one of the most unique historic trails of the American experience. Beginning along the Missouri River, the trek westward along the Oregon Trail was no easy task for the pioneers of early America.

Once dubbed "The Loneliest Road of America," meet people who have found all the comforts of home along Highway 50. Listen as the region's history is brought to life, a history that is very much woven into the fabric of America's Wild West.

Stretching from Chicago to Los Angeles, iconic Route 66 is a part of American legend. The spirit and beating heart of America can be felt as you glide along Route 66, and here, you just might catch a fleeting glimpse of The American Dream.
