Most travel guides make recommendations based on the idea that the more often a place is visited, the more reason a tourist has to visit it. But the GPS tracking company Geotab and landscape photographer James Q. Martin have taken the opposite approach with their list of America's 10 most scenic, quiet routes. To make the list, Geotab began by using the most recent available data from the US Department of Transportation's Highway Performance Monitoring System, which tracks the number of cars that drive on highways each day.

Once Geotab found the road in each state with the least amount of average, daily traffic, it enlisted Martin to rank the 10 most scenic routes based on subjective criteria. Martin's picks span both coasts and reach as far up as Alaska.

Here are Martin's 10 most scenic, quiet routes, and the reasons he picked them.
