Long distance bike for 5'3" Newb?

Hello all! My dad rode ultra limiteds and other models and was a motorcycle cop when I was a kid so I'm used to being on the back of a bike, but never controlling one myself. After some dreams of riding my own I think it's time I jump in. I'm 5'3" 117lbs and ideally want a bike i can not only handle with relative ease, I intend to go long distance with it to see the countryside. Think north Texas up into Colorado, the pacific northwest, etc. With campgrounds and motels being where I make my stops for the night. What are some bikes that wont kill my back or butt after long trips? Cruise control is invaluable 🙏 thank you so much.
