Indiana is, without a doubt, one of the most underrated states in the country. People hear its name and think “flyover state” when really they ought to be thinking something a little more like “opportunity state”, especially if they’re a lover of the outdoors. Indiana is filled top-to-bottom with incredible things to do, see, and experience, and one of my favorite ways of doing this is undoubtedly the old-school road trip. Take, for example, U.S. Route 12, a scenic drive in Indiana that runs right through the state (and a couple of others) and offers some truly jaw-dropping views of Lake Michigan and other wonders.
