We are blessed with many roads with in minutes of Sacramento and others less than a hour away. Tioga Pass through Yosenite. Skyline Drive on the Coastal ridge between San Francisco and San Jose and its many side roads. The Morman Trail and Ice House Road. Mammoth Lake loop. Roads up and through Lassen Vocanic National Park. You see , in California they paved every road they could find and consequently many wind through back country following the curve of the land or a stream. I have traveled as many of the scenic byways as I can and they are great roads and many of our back roads in Northern California make for year round adventure. Whether on a Wing or a Duc or a Bimmer.

The most awe inspiring road has to be in Alaska. Its all amazing, but my favorite is from the Wrangell – St Elis gateway town of Chitina. Head west to Valdez on the Richardson Hwy. The sceanery is so spectacular that it will take your breath away. With glaciers, mountains, valleys, waterfalls, rivers, and acres of wildflowers. Not to mention wildlife of wolves, moose and bear. And the traffic is zero.

There is more great riding in the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains than anywhere else. The area wins for both quantity and quality. I know hundreds of them pretty well, many are designated scenic byways. Can’t deny there are great rides elsewhere, I’ve been all across the country, enjoy seeing and riding them. We may disagree on some (a.k.a. the highway to Key West – highway riding, come on, who wants to deal with traffic?). Give me an empty road snaking through the valleys and passes of the scenic mountains of the southeast, then another, then another. Now that’s riding!
