Luckily for us, we don't even need to step foot outside of the country to check items off of our bucket lists — because there's plenty to see in our own backyards! For local travel inspiration, look no further than Lonely Planet's best in the US list [1], the eighth edition of which was released to the public on Feb. 6. California's Redwood Coast snagged the number one spot for 2018 and was followed followed by nine other spectacular, must-see destinations across the country. If you're planning an all-American road trip [2] this year, be sure to add the following spots to your itinerary.

California's Redwood Coast

"Lose all track of time (and cell signal)."

Boise, ID

"What cool looks like before the rest of the world has figured it out."

Florida's Space Coast

"Get a taste of outer space on earth."

Cincinnati, OH

"A new chapter for the city's artistic icons."

Midcoast, ME

"One word says it all: 'Ayuh.'"

Richmond, VA

"Flipped from humdrum to happening."

Kentucky Bourbon Country

"The state's distilling heritage runs deep."
