According to Iowa Economic Development Authority and Iowa Finance Authority Director Debi Durham, "Iowa's scenic byways offer both a breathtaking view of our state's diverse landscapes and a journey through Iowa's cultural heritage through historic sites, national landmarks and other attractions that tell our state's story. The new Scenic Byways Passport is a great way to explore Iowa all year long."
The Lincoln Highway Heritage Byway stretches more than 460 miles from Clinton on the Mississippi River to Council Bluffs at the western edge of the state. It's Iowa's longest and most historic byway. Travelers experience rural landscapes and urban vitality, original landmarks like service stations and road markers, a wide variety of Iowa's unique topography along with wineries, breweries, distilleries, eateries, museums and other attractions.
Tourism in Iowa generates nearly $9 billion in expenditures and $517.5 million in state taxes, while employing 70,200 people statewide. The Iowa Tourism Office is part of the Iowa Economic Development Authority.
