My next road is always my favorite. But over the years I’ve also found that (1) Highway 99/97/1 from Vancouver, B.C. to Calgary, Alberta is awesome beyond belief; (2) the road up Mount Evans in Colorado is the best (and highest) high altitude road in the U.S.; (3) Highway 170 from Presidio, Texas to Big Bend National Park along the Rio Grande is fantastic and my home town favorite (4) Highway 1 anywhere from San Diego to Portland can’t be beat.

I have the fortune of living in one of the most beautiful states, Alaska. Needless to say the only roads that leave Anchorage, Glenn Highway going north, and Seward Highway going south, are the most beautiful rides I’vew been on. Keep in mind that most of my state is national park. Going south or north is nothing but mountains, elevation gains, open stretches, long sweepers, and everything in between. Not recommended for anything under 600 cc because of some steep elevation changes. The best stretch IMHO is a 2 1/2 hour cruise to Seward.

Million dollar hwy in Colorado – From Durango – Telluride and back down the other side – scenic hwy – lots of turns – just amazing. Bumper stickers on cages read “real men don’t need guard rails”.

One of my less know favorite mountain roads is found north of Boone, NC. It is a north Carolina Scenic byway, Hyw 194. This road connects Boone, NC with the West Jefferson, NC area via twists, hills with great farm, woods, and river scenery. Lots of fun on most any type motorcycle. I try to ride it every time I am in the Boone area. Led a groud of riders there last weekend and they all had big smiles after and wanted to do it again.

If you like a bit more of a challenging ride take the Blue Ridge Parkway south of Boone to the Marrion, NC area and exit the parkway on Hyw 80 toward Marion. If you like to drag pegs or your running boards at less than 30 MPH this is the mountain road for you! Try to keep it between the lines or you might find yourself taking the quick way down with that unpleasant sudden stop at the bottom!

Any road with few stops, low traffic and lots of turns! Here in San Diego there are too many of them to mention. Of course a slow ride up Highway 101 (Pacific Coast Highway) is always fun even when traffic volume is up.
