I'm pretty goal oriented so the idea of just meandering isn't too appealing but I have done two trips recently that sort of fit that bill.
The first was two weeks to get from Calgary to Jasper. I flew into Calgary and eventually took the train from Jasper back home to near Vancouver. For that trip I had no set itinerary and did day hikes etc... from Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper along the way.
The second was a one week trip to Moab for mountain biking. Flew into SLC, rented a mini van in which I slept and picked up a rental bike in Moab.
I plan (fingers crossed) to do the Moab thing again this Nov. but this time for two weeks driving from Vancouver. I will bring my road bike and again rent an mtb or also bring my fat bike.
Besides bike touring I also really enjoy road trips (8000kms in three weeks so far this summer). In a vehicle I am far more likely to make it up as I go.
