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!

Just back from 2400 miles that started on the Blue Ridge Parkway Asheville NC to Boone NC then US-421 to Bristol TN (peg dragging twisties!) In northern Michigan don’t miss the River Road along the Au Sable River in the Huron National Forest to arrive in Oscoda MI.
