Short local adventures across the US

A ZipTrip is a short local adventure: four to six great stops you can string together in a morning, an afternoon or a day. Here are 506 ready-made trips across 362 cities, small towns and national parks — food crawls, scenic drives, family days, hidden gems and more.

Each guide lists every stop in order with what to do there, roughly how long to spend and what it costs, so you can follow it as-is or use it as a starting point. Open any trip in the ZipTrips app to rearrange it, share it with friends and get turn-by-turn directions.

How these guides are made: each trip is planned with AI using current Google Search results, then every stop is matched to a real place on Google Maps (address, rating and photo come from there). Opening hours and prices change, so check before you go.
