Americans...

Americans, is it worth driving around between your cities or would most of this be boring freeway with nowhere to stop and nothing to see?

There is a shitload of stuff to see from New York to DC. Everything else would be crap though, especially SF-Portland and Portland-Yellowstone.

If you stay on the freeways you'll just experience the boring freeway obviously. Take the time out to plan a trip that gets you off of the freeway, into some small towns and doing some sight seeing, eating and drinking the local fare, stop to take tours of local breweries, visit museums, stop at some national parks to experience the splendor of the new world.

yeah obviously this would be ideal but I am not going to plan the 'in between' destinations, in australia you either have freeway through bush with soundwalls on either side or a highway which goes directly though town centres and its easy to stop and get out
I just wanted to know if I would be more likely to see the former or latter in america

The latter but there are many back roads that take you away from the highway and it's possible to travel across the country using them. It just depends on how much time you're willing to spend driving through curvy back roads, also you'll have to dodge slow crossing farm animals, woodland creatures dashing into the road, slow farm tractors, and you'll hit train crossings as well.

All the states vertically aligned with nebraska or iowa (except Louisiana) are ones you drive straight through. In the mountains you should hit all or as many national parks as you can. You are missing great opportunities, hikes, and views by driving straight through the rockies in both the dry south and wetter north.

A lot of that Vegas to San Francisco drive will be boring and ugly, but the rest of it will have plenty of interesting scenery, especially that drive up the PNW and into Yellowstone.

Our countryside is nice. Avoid road trips through the Great Plains states, though.

Usually boring. Roadtrips in the Southwest, New England, and California can be fun because the scenery is pretty.
