Evergreens, mountain peaks, and a VW bus on the footer set the scene: the northwest road trip license plate game packs four activities onto one sheet before you even leave the driveway.
Four sections share a single page. The left side holds a 50-state plate grid, each state represented by a small illustrated plate with a checkbox beside it. To the right sit a dated mileage log with columns for origin, destination, and miles traveled, plus a total miles field at the bottom.
Below the mileage log is a “Things I Spotted” checklist covering 20 sightings from mountains and waterfalls to covered bridges, hot air balloons, and toll booths. A freeform “Draw Your Road Trip” box fills the lower left, and a Road Trip Notes section with lined fields rounds out the lower right. Part of the Road Trip Games collection, the northwest road trip license plate game suits anyone heading through the Pacific Northwest or threading up through the Rockies.

Fine liners sized 0.3 or 0.4 mm suit the narrow checkbox squares beside each state plate without bleeding into neighboring cells. The mileage log columns are tight, so a ballpoint pen with a sharp point keeps entries legible across multiple days of travel. The Draw Your Road Trip box is large enough for colored pencils or a gel pen sketch, and the sheet works filled in digitally on a tablet before printing if you prefer typed notes in the mileage log.

Running four or five copies at once on 24 lb paper keeps the sheet sturdy enough for a long trip without the extra thickness of cardstock. Leave the left margin slightly wider if you plan to clip pages into a binder ring at the end of the journey.
