What Are the Best Local Places to Drive a Newly Purchased Vehicle?

After you win the vehicle you’ve been waiting for, it’s time to hit the road. Start your first drive by taking in Harrisburg’s beautiful scenery. Try heading north along River Front and merging onto 322 toward State. The views here make for a stunning first trip!

Or explore northwest on 22/322 toward Dauphin, then go north on 225 (Peter’s Mountain Road). In the fall, this route rewards you with breathtaking seasonal colors that showcase the best of the mid-Atlantic.

For something even more adventurous, take 81 to the Jonestown/Lickdale exit, then turn onto 72 and follow Goldmine Road. This path leads you through peaceful mountain landscapes and charming wooded roads you’ll remember long after the drive ends.
