NORTH CAROLINA -- Summer is the perfect time to hit the road for a trip to explore the country. Luckily for Tar Heel State residents, you won't have to go far. Wallethub recently placed North Carolina at second place on their list of the Best States for Summer Road Trips.

Wallethub created the list by comparing each state across three categories; cost, safety and activities.

Wyoming was the only state to top North Carolina on the list.

North Carolina also tied with California as having the most scenic byways in the country.
