Hey folks! This video is for entertainment purposes only. This list is subjective,but are ideas on road trips for 2023. However, If you have ridden these routes and have helpful details that were not included in the video, please comment below. For example, some riders have already mentioned important details on Going-to-the-Sun road. It’s looking like this channel can be a great forum to offer tips on how to plan riding these great motorcycle roads. Thanks for watching!
Started riding at age 58. Now 71. Five done, five to go. I was going to rank the five I've experienced but after thinking about it there is no point to it. Fabulous. Fabulous. Fabulous.
A suggestion for the Going to the Sun Road: Get up early and ride it before 9:00 am. The tourists like to sleep in. Another general suggestion for all the Rocky Mountain roads listed in this video: Ride the high altitudes before lunch. After about 2:00 pm, clouds form and produce thunderstorms. This is due to evaporation as the day warms. Mountains make their own weather so stay alert.
Been to the top of Mt Evans 2 times & Pikes Peak 3 times & I say AMEN to going in the mornings because of the storms & may I also suggest dressing for the temps at the top which could very well be in the 30's - I'm an old man (75) & live in Florida & have ridden 8 of these roads (missing Hwy 1 & the sisters) & agree with the choices - saying that I could also say the the top 10 list could easily be expanded to the top 15 - there are just so many - you may want to try the "Back of the Dragon" in southwest Virginia which is 32 miles & 439 curves - beautiful scenery.
Going to the sun highway has been and will be the best trip I have ever done. That being said, the National Park Service has destroyed that in my opinion by creating a permit system that allows only a few personal vehicles including motorcycles on the road per day. Can only be accomplished by accessing their website 1 day prior to visiting, and after trying for 28 consecutive days in June/July I have given up.
@@michaeldirkes3446 I heard about this thru the grapevine (so to speak) & fine it to be total BS that the National Park Service would start such a program - I can't help but think about the old saying - "If its not broken don't fix it" - sounds like its typical of our government in everything they do which is to say - all the government seems to do is create problems but never any solutions - I can see as being extremely frustrating 7 IMO there is no need for it.
At least year in 2022, we rode in early Sept THE DAY AFTER they stopped the ridiculous permits for access! Much less traffic & I rode over Going to the Sun in just a long sleeve shirt so still nice weather. I was born in Alberta Canada but now live in a W. State so probably been over that road 30-40x's. It is still an amazing trip every time!
This 74-year old rider has ridden all over Europe. All of Italy. The Europeans are always claiming their motorcycle roads are the best. They don't know what they are missing - riding these great rides you have presented on your excellent video. I have ridden most of the US states. And agree with your choices! (If only the speed limits were higher in the US. Beautifully engineered roads - with horse and cart speed limits!) Thanks for the video. Great job.
Thanks for the comment! I have also driven in Italy and France, from the French Riviera up to the Alps. They are incredible. But I agree there is so much to see in the states. Could spend a lifetime riding here and still not see every amazing road. Well done on 74 and still riding, I hope to be doing the same!
I have been on most of these roads and I have the good fortune of living right next to #10, Hwy 1 in California. I take this trip about once a month and it never gets old. I do have some tips about this road. Try to avoid going in the summer. The fog rolls in every summer (due to the hot Central Valley summers) and severely restricts your ability to see the great views. Also, the road is crowded during the summer time since that is when most people travel. If you can get some time off in the winter, that is the time to go. Bring your winter gear, the temps will be as low as the 40s. However, if you get a sunny day and wait until mid-morning, you should be able to get temps in the 60s. All of the footage I have collected for my channel has been during the winter. Finally, while it was mentioned that Big Sur is the highlight, I would say it is the only part that is worth doing. The road is truly epic from Carmel to Cambria (around 100 miles). There are other nice patches, but this is the truly epic stretch.
@@IRLtrolls Still a small section that is closed. According to the most recent update, they are hoping to have it opened in "a couple of months". Most of it is open, but it it not connected in the middle.
I have ridden all but three of these. My favorite is Bearthooth!! I would also add Salt River Canyon Scenic, Az. Cheif Joseph Hwy, which can be ridden along with Beartooth. Richard Russell Scenic Hwy, Ga. Natchez Trace, Ms, Tn. Just some of my favorites. Some I like to keep secret. Many more out there!!!!!!
I discovered Tennessee 13 this last July. Just a good Americana experience. I'll certainly ride it again. I connected it to The Trace in Land Between the Lakes and if you have skills and balls of steel, then ride on into Illinois over the Brookport Bridge!!! 😱
Any New England area “have to ride to believe stretches “? Back in the 90s I rode a ton throughout Connecticut. Been bikeless for the last 20 years but have a bike for this year coming. And now that I’m older will be looking for some scenic rides for weekends.
If you can, do PCH 1 from Monterrey to Morro Bay. Further south - head to Buellton and across Solvang. From there, take the 246 to Santa Ynez. Take the 154 through the mountains and land in Santa Barbara. The mountains/hills of the 154 are a nice alternative to the 101 from Santa Maria. Good riding all!
Just a comment. An east coaster here. #5, the Blue Ridge Parkway is beautiful.....for a couple hours. Then it becomes tedious and the same beautiful views repeat and repeat. Also, don't go above the posted speed. Lots of "po po" watching the limit. If that is what you are into, it is a beautiful ride. Often, we will jump on for a couple hours. Then jump off to get where we want to go. Have done the Skyline drive ride several times, and the Smokees rides many, many times. It is tempting to jump on the Blue Ridge parkway......which we often do.....but then jump back off after a while because it is the same thing over and over, and not a quick way to get to another destination. If you are I the Smokees area.....definately ride the Cherohala (sp?) Skyway. From the overlooks you can see in every direction. Nothing human in sight. Beautiful.
Peak to peak is a beautiful ride, it ends at Estes Park, make a reservation for Rocky Mountain National Park, the entrance is just west of Estes. Finish the loop by going up Hwy 34 through Rabbit Ears pass to Grand Lake, in to Granby Winter Park, catch I-70 back up Golden and Denver.
Another fine, scenic, and informative video. I want to add a little side trip and photo op off the Cherohala in TN. The turn off to Bald River Falls is a nice Kodak Moment and they're is a swimming hole too. COLD even on a hot summer day! The road is paved and has a sign for the turn off. Thanks for the ride along and Happy Trails!
I have ridden the first nine roads numerous times, and they are truly the best of the best in the United States. I have the Pacific Coast Highway on my bucket list for 2023 so many roads in so little time!
If you're planning on riding the west coast. I'd recommend highway 101 in Washington/Oregon over HWY 1 in CA. I'd say HWY 1 is the worst out of the 10 on this list. I've also heard HWY 36 in CA is very good.
The North Cascades Highway. May want to check that one out. Remote, the road is in good condition. Opens in mid May, most of the time. 79 miles between services, lots of curves, camping, hiking, water falls, glaciers. During the week, this is a outstanding ride.
If you’re in SD to ride the Needles Highway - which I highly recommend - check out 16A, the Iron Mountain Road. It’s on,y 17 miles but it was made for riders.
Good list! Did Beartooth in a car some time ago (wife doesn't ride), July as I recall, still snow on the ground and at one point I stopped in one of the hollows the road dips into, on the outside there was a wall of snow as high as the car. Cherohala is one of the best single rides I've ever had; entered from the TN side, two cars in front of me both turned off toward Bald River Falls, and from there on I had the road to myself for 50 miles. BRP is one I've done big chunks of, but not the whole thing; there are some epic side roads off of it as well. NC80 I took for the first time when I realized I would be getting home around 2 or 3 am if I stayed on the Parkway; I had no clue what I was in for as I started down. I later learned that piece of it has been named "The Devil's Whip", top section is very tight and twisty, drops a couple of thousand feet in a few miles. Just about every YT video of it I've seen is the ride UP. it. At Little Switzerland is the loop of NC226/226A called "Diamondback", lots of fun. Many great roads around there..
Thanks for the comment! Cherohala is tremendous especially if you’re riding an open road in front of you. We’re doing a video on NC coming up soon, and NC80 is on it!
Great video. NH resident here. We have lots of great routes up here in New England but realize you would have to make the video hours long to get everyone's favorites in. Seeing as I know my favorite local routes already I thought this video gave me some great options out of my local area. Very well done.
I’ve ridden all 10! The one thing I’d add, is while you’re on Highway 1 keep going north all the way to Vancouver Island. North of San Francisco to the Avenue of the Giants (Redwoods) and Oregon coast are something to see!
#1 San Mountain Skyway - Colorado #2 Twisted Sisters - Texas #3 Going To The Sun Road- Montana #4 Needles - South Dakota #5 Blue Ridge Pkwy - Virginia and N.C. #6 Peak to Peak Hwy - Colorado #7 Coronado Trail Byway - Arizona #8 Beartooth Hwy - Montana and Wyoming #9 Cherohala Skyway - N.C. and TN #10 California Hwy 1 - California
If you ride Peak to Peak highway in Colorado at Estes park spend the night.Plenty of motels,resturants and bars.Get on state route 34 heading west will take you over Trail Ridge road in Rocky Mountain National Park.Magnificent scenery and a killer moto roadHead east on state route 34 and you will go down the Big Thompson river canyon.Another killer moto road.Stunning.Good chance you will see elk,a possible moose or two,Rocky mountain bighorn sheep and montain goats.Enjoy the ride my friends.
UT 12 is a strong contender for greatest ride in the states. I'm not sure I can say it's my favorite ride I've done, but it's definitely somewhere in the top 3.
Iv"e been riding for 62 years and have been have had the good fortune to ride 9 out of your best roads. Bear tooth, Million dollar, Road to the sun , Hwy1 all epic. I live in central Cal. and I can tell you that we have many roads in our mountains that are equal 2 or better than most you mentioned. Some that have virtually no traffic and we can ride most of them year round. I have many countless roads 30 Minuets from my house. Probably the only reason to stay in this state.
Note to Going to the Sun Road. The road usually does not open until July as highway crews are still removing snow, ice and rocks left from winter. One serious but extremely beautiful road. Not a twist the throttle road as vacationers move slow due to the scenery and the way roads are cut into the side of the mountains.
Yes, try riding middle of September when they lift the pass requirements for access. Weather was still nice & traffic was much decreased compared to summer. Keep in mind the summer open date is subject to change. Last year snow clearing was delayed longer than normal. They get the deepest snow drifts in the USA on that road at up to 50ish feet. Beartooth pass is a close second I am told at 40+ feet of snow. We tried riding Beartooth last year but just as we arrived at Yellowstone the massive rain/snow melt combined for HISTORICAL FLOODING & road were closed & were washed out so they closed the Park for the first time ever.
when you do beartooth you need to add 296 Chief Joseph highway well worth the ride the combo is one of the best. I have done 9 out of 10 of these #2 is the only i have missed
Great selection. Live in south TX and 3 twisted sisters and the surrounding towns are better enjoyed after summer of early March, away from vacation times. Bandera TX nearby has a yearly rally that can be used too as an anchor for the route. I also wanted to mention a short ride in Arizona from Flagstaff to Sedona (hwy 89a) and Sedona to hwy 17 (road 179). You get a lot of the Grand canyon views without the crowds. We rode it on our way back from CA and Nevada and it was like entering ‘land of the lost’. Highly recommended
My wife and I are from Australia and have ridden 8 out of the 10 on this lists, #2 and #6 which we will get to on our next trip. We ride 2up on our 2002 FJR and love riding, we have traveled 37000 mile in 3 trips to the US and Canada.
One thing about heading from Cherokee on the BRP is wait till after 10:00 a.m. as you’ll be riding with the sun in your eyes before then. Going around some of those turns will face you right into the Sun. Can be un-nerving. It’s a great road with lots of views.
You don't even mention Vermont?! Us Canadians take a nice leisurely and scenic ride down to Vermont through the Champlain by-way and Champlain islands, have lunch then spend a couple of days ripping through all the mountain twisties in and around Killington. One of our favourite annual trips.
@@robertdesantis6205 or the beginning depending on where you started from. I agree about taking I 81. Skyline drive is not anymore scenic than the blue ridge.
Hwy 7 North of Hot Springs up into Missouri as are many of the roads in that region! Also the roads from Raton NM through Eagles Nest, Red River, Taos, Angel Fire then back out and up into Colorado are worthy mentions that I have traveled.
So I've ridden, #1, #2, #3 (by car), #4, #5, #7, #8, #9, and #10. I would add highway 242 from Belknap Springs, Oregon to Sisters. It starts out in a labyrinth of switch backs up through local temperate rainforest and empties out onto a volcanic wasteland. Once you've recovered from the transition and viewed the area from the volcano rock viewing tower you drop down through a region of beautiful Ponderosa pine and into the inviting little town of Sisters. I'd also like to offer up, Hwy 20 between Winthrop, WA and Rockport, Wa. of which the best is the the section going through the Northern Cascade Mountains by Diablo Lake.
An alternative to the Three Twisted Sisters in Texas is the Dirty Sisters if you're on a dual sport or ADV bike. It incorporates the Three Twisted Sisters but also has miles and miles of unpaved roads through ranch land with several river and creek crossings. The difficulty level depends on the amount of rain. No recent rain and it's super easy. If there's been rain, some of those water crossings can be intimidating and/or difficult. We ride it north out of Leakey on RM 336 to TX 41. West on TX 41 and then turn south on an unpaved road called Hackberry Road which eventually takes you southwest to RM 335. Head south on RM 335 until reaching the small community of Vance and turn left (northeast) on RM 2631. RM 2631 meanders through ranches along Bullhead Creek and the pavement ends and it turns into Bullhead Road. Keep following Bullhead Road for a while and it eventually gets paved again and turns into RM 3235. Follow RM 3235 until it meets back up with RM 336 a few miles north of Leakey. That's about 103 miles, if I remember correctly, and there are no gas stations or any other sorts of services available on that loop. Also, I don't recommend that ride during the height of summer for those not fully acclimated to that sort of heat. BRING WATER!!! To get the third Twisted Sister, the ride between Leakey and Vanderpool on RM 337 is very nice, the best part of that particular road. There's a great motorcycle museum in Vanderpool, but it's only open on weekends.
Awesome thanks for the detailed recommendation! I know many viewers would like more unpaved routes, but I barely have time to research all the best PAVED roads in America! Lol. That sounds like an epic adventure route though, thanks for the comment.
I've road all the roads you listed . One advantage to being ADV bike rider. There are places you can go that most people wouldn't think about if your skill level is up to it. They texas hill country has the best roads for winter time riding that I have found. Lots of great farm roads but watch for deer they run all day long.
Not bad I’ve done 4 of the 10 (routes 1,5,6,10) Started riding at age 47 October 2020 when I bought my first Harley. Since 17 states 8 different Harleys still own 4 and 58,000 miles. Plan to do at least 3 of these this year on trips to MT and TX.
I've been on at least 2 of those rides, Blue Ridge Parkway, Million Dollar Highway, and maybe the Cherhola skyway. As for Skyline Drive I would skip that one unless you enjoy just focusing on the road. It is a very, very twisty road that doesn't let you enjoy the scenery, but it that's what you're into go for it. I agree that the Tail of the Dragon is a famous road but frankly I've been on much more challenging roads from a technical point of view. That said, try and spend a night a the motel at Deals Gap. The rooms are very reasonable if not well appointed but the camaraderie is great especially around the bonfire at night and coffee in the morning. Keep the good stuff coming.
I'm from Pennsylvania. If you ever ride here may I recommend Route 87 from Montoursville to Dushore PA. Great road with awesome scenery. It only takes about 1 hour to do. 43 miles of awesome road!!
Amazing video! Thank you for making it! I am planning to get a motorcycle and drive to all those places from Toronto Canada. Will need to learn more about accommodations and camping places so I can really rest and be strong to be able to enjoy the beauty of those places. I mean, being 51 brings some challenges. Haha! Cheers!
Great roads indeed. I have ridden 7 of the 10. One road that never seems to make anybodies list is Wyoming Highway 16 over the Big Horn Mountains and thru Ten Sleep Canyon. That is my favorite so far.
Love it!!! I have ridden Tail of the dragon, Cherohala, Blue Ridge, Twisted sisters. Looking to do Pacific coast , Million Dollar highway and Beartooth
Nice! Can’t go wrong with any of those the great thing about the PCH is you can do it almost any time of year. The others will have to be strictly summer
Coronado Trail was epic and completely worth the long July 2022 trip to ride. Two things not mentioned regarding the "not for beginners" part are: This is mostly an open range road so cattle or cattle droppings can be around every blind corner. AZDOT has a long section of the highway, with many of the best combinations of curves, as a "surface testing area". This means the road surface changed about every mile for 23 miles...and many of those surfaces were not holding up well depositing gravel in the middle of curves. Lastly for any rider...when it says no service 62 miles passing the mines in Mercino...they mean it. That includes no cell service (except once or twice at the peaks), fuel, food, potable water, etc until you hit Alpine. There was one Rancher advertising emergency fuel about the 42 mile mark and I suspect some people needed it.
Great list! Peak to Peak Highway is my weekend ride every single week from mid-April to mid-October every year. We have so many great roads around Denver that we are spoiled for choice. Riding to the top of Pikes Peak or Mount Evans (both over 14,000 ft high) are amazing, as is Squaw Pass Rd. (to get to the base of the Mt. Evans climb) and a dozen others just around the city itself.
Done a couple. 3 sisters in Texas, Colorado Million dollar highway, Devils Highway in E Az, Blueridge Pkwy and CA1. On CA1, I went off-road to the top of Big Sur - Coast Ridge Road. That was epic and very dangerous.
The PCH its on my to do list. . The Road to the sun and Beartooth pass were closed but Yellowstone was still worth the trip. I would add any of these. Alaska HWY, Top of the World. Fairbanks to Anchorage, Anchorage to White horse to Skagway.
I have ridden 1-9 already. Still need to get to Route 1 in California. A road you should add to your collection is Route 21 between Idaho City and Stanley Idaho. This was the most fun twisties I rode in the Western US.
after these storms we just had in January 2023, Big Sur section may have some spots closed but it's an awesome ride,If anyone takes PCH/ HWY1, the only downside is Carmel as motorcycles are not allowed on the !17 miles drive route but otherwise it's beautiful. Up north has some amazing scenery through Eureka & Humbolt area as well
I have ridden everyone of these roads on my motorcycles and most multiple times. They are all great! Beartooth Pass is amazing as is Going to the Sun Rd in Glacier National park. Both of these areas are amazing and the ride is stunning in every way! Both roads in CO are stunning also ! Hwy 1 by Big Sur in CA is stunning also. Get out and truly connect with nature this year!!!
Decent ride from US 395, Nevada,to the California Coast is CA36. There's a break in the Middle at Red Bluff, CA (and crosses US Interstate 5 there). From Red Bluff to the coast is 147 miles of... road and a couple of "Maybe" gas stations. Carry fuel!
Thanks for your hard work putting this together! I just did The Going to the Sun road in Sept. Note the road is terrible from West Glacier to McDonald Lodge. Also you'll experience less traffic if you go from East to West. One road you you missed on your top 10 is Lolo Pass/Hwy 12 from Lewiston ID to Lolo MT.
That is good info, especially since you just did it in September thank you! And yes Lolo Pass is great. We may have to include that one on our 2024 video!
Nice video, My wife and I road 22,000 miles this past year we road every road in the video, The most epic hwy in America (IMO) Lewiston Idaho state route 129 leading into the Hells canyon hwy OMG totally awesome, the best
Rode the Twisted Sisters for the 3rd time on Dec. 20th 2022 and can confirm that the construction is just about done and all roads are open. Leakey has a gas station if you get there and are low. That's about the closest. Otherwise, the closest gas is gonna be Fredericksburg, Kerrville or Bandera. I always stay in Kerrville. Safe riding brothers (and sisters.)
Great video, thanks. I’ve done the Cherohala Skyway, tail of the dragon, BRP & Skyline drive several times. Also up state New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine. Highway 1 from Bar Harbor to Lubec is very pretty as well. Would love to ride out west more, if I can find the time!!
I’ve done cally US1 and ride the twisted sisters every year. About to retire and throw down some miles so thanks for the list. Starting at tail of the dragon.
Cherohala is pronounced Cheroholla. I've lived in tn since 92 and ride both the cherohala and us129 aka tail of the dragon. Another great ride is hwy 28 aka moonshiner 28 and devils triangle is a good one. Don't go on the triangle unless you know how to ride.
As someone that's been on several of these roads I can say this is a very solid list of places you should visit/experience. Highly recommend. Nice video

That’s awesome. Great example on how it’s never too late to start riding!
Which ones are done and which ones are to go? ;)
That’s awesome man I started at 39 I’m just glad that I started as early as I did wish it would’ve been we earlier
I'll be 74 and have ridden 7 of these, (most several times). Can't wait for spring and maybe ride another 1 or 2 before I'm too old !!
Got my license in 2022 at 52, logged over 6k miles in just one year. Wish I had started earlier in life!

Thanks for the feedback!
Great video... new subscriber, and looking for more amazing destination road trips. DAWG from the Show Me State of Missouri.
Thanks!
Bear tooth pass from Red Lodge to Cody got to be the most fun I’ve ever had on 2 wheels ,so much so , I’ve done it 4 times from both directions
This 74-year old rider has ridden all over Europe. All of Italy. The Europeans are always claiming their motorcycle roads are the best.
They don't know what they are missing - riding these great rides you have presented on your excellent video.

I agree. Southern Appalachia, in my opinion, has the best roads collectively on the planet.
You are doing a great job, your videos are very interesting. Thanks 🔥❤️🔥😎👌
Thank you!
done four of the ten and didnt know what I was missing. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback!
The Sisters are absolutely amazing
I rode them in both directions last March and I’m going back because I got a new bike
Thank you very much very well done
Thank you!
I have a suggestion how about a ride through the keys down to Key West Florida
I have done a bunch of those rides and I really do believe you've got a good selection

Yeah that part of HWY 1 is probably my favorite as well
What’s it like right now with the closures? I’m doing it in late July
@@IRLtrolls Still a small section that is closed. According to the most recent update, they are hoping to have it opened in "a couple of months". Most of it is open, but it it not connected in the middle.
San Juan skyway used to haul oil well pipe any chance I could winter summer didn't matter
Nice to see the Twisted Sisters get some love.
I have ridden all but three of these. My favorite is Bearthooth!! I would also add Salt River Canyon Scenic, Az. Cheif Joseph Hwy, which can be ridden along with Beartooth. Richard Russell Scenic Hwy, Ga. Natchez Trace, Ms, Tn. Just some of my favorites. Some I like to keep secret. Many more out there!!!!!!
Absolutely! Good point on Chief Joseph being so close to Beartooth
I discovered Tennessee 13 this last July. Just a good Americana experience. I'll certainly ride it again. I connected it to The Trace in Land Between the Lakes and if you have skills and balls of steel, then ride on into Illinois over the Brookport Bridge!!! 😱
Back of the dragon rt 16 Virginia and the snake rt 421 Tennessee can be done end to end in one day. Awesome ride.
Thanks for the recommended, those are also great roads!
Thank you! For adding to my Bucket List! 😀
This is awesome! Although I knew of some of these, having them all in one video really gets the juices flowing! Thank you!

Thanks for compiling this list!
You just made my bucket list.
I am riding the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway this summer.
Stay safe.
Dave 🇨🇦
Awesome thanks for the comment, hope you have a great ride
I had no idea about half of these routes. Fantastic video. Can't wait to get the bike out!!
Awesome, thanks for the comment!
Just a comment. An east coaster here. #5, the Blue Ridge Parkway is beautiful.....for a couple hours. Then it becomes tedious and the same beautiful views repeat and repeat. Also, don't go above the posted speed. Lots of "po po" watching the limit. If that is what you are into, it is a beautiful ride. Often, we will jump on for a couple hours. Then jump off to get where we want to go. Have done the Skyline drive ride several times, and the Smokees rides many, many times. It is tempting to jump on the Blue Ridge parkway......which we often do.....but then jump back off after a while because it is the same thing over and over, and not a quick way to get to another destination. If you are I the Smokees area.....definately ride the Cherohala (sp?) Skyway. From the overlooks you can see in every direction. Nothing human in sight. Beautiful.
Fair enough, thanks for the feedback!
These roads will give you an experience you will never forget. Great videos. Thank You for posting this.
Thanks for the feedback!
Beautiful presentation. Thank you for this information.
Thank you!
Peak to peak is a beautiful ride, it ends at Estes Park, make a reservation for Rocky Mountain National Park, the entrance is just west of Estes. Finish the loop by going up Hwy 34 through Rabbit Ears pass to Grand Lake, in to Granby Winter Park, catch I-70 back up Golden and Denver.
Peak to Peak is awesome. Could easily be in a top ten for sure. Thanks for the recommendation!
Another fine, scenic, and informative video. I want to add a little side trip and photo op off the Cherohala in TN. The turn off to Bald River Falls is a nice Kodak Moment and they're is a swimming hole too. COLD even on a hot summer day! The road is paved and has a sign for the turn off. Thanks for the ride along and Happy Trails!
That’s a good recommendation. Will have to check that turn off on our next ride there!
Ridden a few of these. The Peak to Peak in Colorado is fantastic. Great video!
Thanks for the feedback, Peak to Peak is awesome!
I have ridden the first nine roads numerous times, and they are truly the best of the best in the United States. I have the Pacific Coast Highway on my bucket list for 2023 so many roads in so little time!
Same here! So many roads.... thanks for the comment
If you're planning on riding the west coast. I'd recommend highway 101 in Washington/Oregon over HWY 1 in CA. I'd say HWY 1 is the worst out of the 10 on this list. I've also heard HWY 36 in CA is very good.
The North Cascades Highway. May want to check that one out. Remote, the road is in good condition. Opens in mid May, most of the time. 79 miles between services, lots of curves, camping, hiking, water falls, glaciers. During the week, this is a outstanding ride.
Yeah Cascades is awesome. Thanks for the recommendation! Will add those details on our Washington page
Or hiway 12, Chinook pass,
If you’re in SD to ride the Needles Highway - which I highly recommend - check out 16A, the Iron Mountain Road. It’s on,y 17 miles but it was made for riders.
Have been on 8 of the 10 roads in this video. All great roads. Will be returning to a few this summer.
Great List! I rode all but the Twisted Sisters. Time for another ride to Texas! The Beartooth Hwy is my personal favorite.
Awesome thanks for your comments!
Done 9 of the 10!
Well done!
I rode the dragon, skyway and smoky mountains in 2022. Ready to go back on my new bike and hit more areas in that area.
Good list! Did Beartooth in a car some time ago (wife doesn't ride), July as I recall, still snow on the ground and at one point I stopped in one of the hollows the road dips into, on the outside there was a wall of snow as high as the car. Cherohala is one of the best single rides I've ever had; entered from the TN side, two cars in front of me both turned off toward Bald River Falls, and from there on I had the road to myself for 50 miles. BRP is one I've done big chunks of, but not the whole thing; there are some epic side roads off of it as well. NC80 I took for the first time when I realized I would be getting home around 2 or 3 am if I stayed on the Parkway; I had no clue what I was in for as I started down. I later learned that piece of it has been named "The Devil's Whip", top section is very tight and twisty, drops a couple of thousand feet in a few miles. Just about every YT video of it I've seen is the ride UP. it. At Little Switzerland is the loop of NC226/226A called "Diamondback", lots of fun. Many great roads around there..
Thanks for the comment! Cherohala is tremendous especially if you’re riding an open road in front of you. We’re doing a video on NC coming up soon, and NC80 is on it!
You can make snow angels on Beartooth during July 4th by the Store at the Top of the World!
Did Trail Ridge rd in 2017, it was one of the best roads Ive been on, just too much traffic
Yes gets busier every year I'm afraid
Awesome video, showing the best scenery your country has to offer! Epic landscapes !! Superb compilation!
Thanks for the feedback!
Great video. NH resident here. We have lots of great routes up here in New England but realize you would have to make the video hours long to get everyone's favorites in. Seeing as I know my favorite local routes already I thought this video gave me some great options out of my local area. Very well done.
Hey thanks! Love the White Mountains and VT!
Great video. Those roads are very impressive. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the feedback!
Ha! Ripping through the Coronado trail on a KLR! Great video, fantastic presentation, looking forward to more videos.
Thanks for the feedback!
I’ve ridden all 10! The one thing I’d add, is while you’re on Highway 1 keep going north all the way to Vancouver Island. North of San Francisco to the Avenue of the Giants (Redwoods) and Oregon coast are something to see!
Good tips! Avenue of the Giants is awesome I did it back in 2018
#1 San Mountain Skyway - Colorado
#2 Twisted Sisters - Texas
#3 Going To The Sun Road- Montana
#4 Needles - South Dakota
#5 Blue Ridge Pkwy - Virginia and N.C.
#6 Peak to Peak Hwy - Colorado
#7 Coronado Trail Byway - Arizona
#8 Beartooth Hwy - Montana and Wyoming
#9 Cherohala Skyway - N.C. and TN
#10 California Hwy 1 - California
If you ride Peak to Peak highway in Colorado at Estes park spend the night.Plenty of motels,resturants and bars.Get on state route 34 heading west will take you over Trail Ridge road in Rocky Mountain National Park.Magnificent scenery and a killer moto roadHead east on state route 34 and you will go down the Big Thompson river canyon.Another killer moto road.Stunning.Good chance you will see elk,a possible moose or two,Rocky mountain bighorn sheep and montain goats.Enjoy the ride my friends.
Thanks for the recommendations. Incorporating Peak to Peak with Trail ridge Road would indeed be a motorcycle route of a lifetime!
UT 12 especially in the fall south out of Torrey towards Panguitch is a great ride. One of my favorites and I am almost at 400K miles on two wheels
That’s a lot of miles, well done!
UT 12 is a strong contender for greatest ride in the states. I'm not sure I can say it's my favorite ride I've done, but it's definitely somewhere in the top 3.
UT in the fall when the Aspens are starting to turn is the best time
Iv"e been riding for 62 years and have been have had the good fortune to ride 9 out of your best roads. Bear tooth, Million dollar, Road to the sun ,
Hwy1 all epic. I live in central Cal. and I can tell you that we have many roads in our mountains that are equal 2 or better than most you mentioned. Some that have virtually no traffic and we can ride most of them year round. I have many countless roads 30 Minuets from my house. Probably the only reason to stay in this state.
9 out of 10 is awesome, well done! Let us know about some of the best lesser known CA routes!
Another awesome route connecting to the 11000 Beartooth is the Chief Joseph Highway north west of Cody, WY.
What an amazing scenery!! The routes are so inviting!! Thank you for letting us know.
Thanks for watching!
Note to Going to the Sun Road. The road usually does not open until July as highway crews are still removing snow, ice and rocks left from winter. One serious but extremely beautiful road. Not a twist the throttle road as vacationers move slow due to the scenery and the way roads are cut into the side of the mountains.
Yes important detail on July opening, thank you!
Also there is now a reservation required.
Yes, try riding middle of September when they lift the pass requirements for access. Weather was still nice & traffic was much decreased compared to summer. Keep in mind the summer open date is subject to change. Last year snow clearing was delayed longer than normal. They get the deepest snow drifts in the USA on that road at up to 50ish feet. Beartooth pass is a close second I am told at 40+ feet of snow. We tried riding Beartooth last year but just as we arrived at Yellowstone the massive rain/snow melt combined for HISTORICAL FLOODING & road were closed & were washed out so they closed the Park for the first time ever.
when you do beartooth you need to add 296 Chief Joseph highway well worth the ride the combo is one of the best. I have done 9 out of 10 of these #2 is the only i have missed
9 out of 10 is awesome well done! Chief Joseph is an exceptional road as well, good recommendation
I think CJ may even be better.
For sure!!
Riden most those routes. Good choices ! Of the many.. Nice Chanel !
Nice, thanks for the feedback!
Great selection. Live in south TX and 3 twisted sisters and the surrounding towns are better enjoyed after summer of early March, away from vacation times. Bandera TX nearby has a yearly rally that can be used too as an anchor for the route.
I also wanted to mention a short ride in Arizona from Flagstaff to Sedona (hwy 89a) and Sedona to hwy 17 (road 179). You get a lot of the Grand canyon views without the crowds. We rode it on our way back from CA and Nevada and it was like entering ‘land of the lost’. Highly recommended
Great recommendation, thank you!
Agree on making sure you hit Bandera and Route 16 (I think) going north towards Fredricksberg.
My wife and I are from Australia and have ridden 8 out of the 10 on this lists, #2 and #6 which we will get to on our next trip.
We ride 2up on our 2002 FJR and love riding, we have traveled 37000 mile in 3 trips to the US and Canada.
Awesome thanks for the feedback!
One thing about heading from Cherokee on the BRP is wait till after 10:00 a.m. as you’ll be riding with the sun in your eyes before then. Going around some of those turns will face you right into the Sun. Can be un-nerving. It’s a great road with lots of views.
Good point thanks for the tips!
You don't even mention Vermont?! Us Canadians take a nice leisurely and scenic ride down to Vermont through the Champlain by-way and Champlain islands, have lunch then spend a couple of days ripping through all the mountain twisties in and around Killington. One of our favourite annual trips.
Yesss!! We rode that in 21, incredible ride, just gorgeous!!! Should be on the list!!
True we love Vermont! Doing a new video on that soon this year, stay tuned!
Skyline Drive is at the end of the Blue Ridge, and they charge $30 for the privilege. I opted for I-81 to complete my journey to PA.
@@robertdesantis6205 or the beginning depending on where you started from. I agree about taking I 81. Skyline drive is not anymore scenic than the blue ridge.
I started riding 6yrs ago and I've done all but three of the top 10. We are doing the PCH this year as well as twisted sisters. Nice top 10.
Thanks!
Thanks for getting all in one video very nice I enjoy watching it
Thanks for the feedback!
Good list, I’ve ridden most of these. One of these days I’d like to see a list of the ‘best’ hidden gems for motorcycle roads.
Working on something like that now! Thanks for the feedback
Wow awesome video with gorgeous scenery...almost convinced me to start riding!
🤣
Curious did you ever get a bike ?
Great job here! As a old guy who has always loved riding, I like these picks.
Right on, thanks for the comment!
Hwy 7 North of Hot Springs up into Missouri as are many of the roads in that region! Also the roads from Raton NM through Eagles Nest, Red River, Taos, Angel Fire then back out and up into Colorado are worthy mentions that I have traveled.
Good tips thanks for the feedback !
My favorite, Hwy 128 from Cisco to Moab. Red and black canyon walls 100s of feet high along the Colorado river.
Love Moab!
We took a trip to Colorado last year, we rode 2,143 miles in 6 days. (All in Co.) San Juan skyway was absolutely amazing!
Wow that’s a lot of riding, well done!
So I've ridden, #1, #2, #3 (by car), #4, #5, #7, #8, #9, and #10.
I would add highway 242 from Belknap Springs, Oregon to Sisters. It starts out in a labyrinth of switch backs up through local temperate rainforest and empties out onto a volcanic wasteland. Once you've recovered from the transition and viewed the area from the volcano rock viewing tower you drop down through a region of beautiful Ponderosa pine and into the inviting little town of Sisters.
I'd also like to offer up, Hwy 20 between Winthrop, WA and Rockport, Wa. of which the best is the the section going through the Northern Cascade Mountains by Diablo Lake.
Thanks for the recommendations! Will have to check that Oregon route out. Cascades Hwy is awesome for sure
An alternative to the Three Twisted Sisters in Texas is the Dirty Sisters if you're on a dual sport or ADV bike. It incorporates the Three Twisted Sisters but also has miles and miles of unpaved roads through ranch land with several river and creek crossings. The difficulty level depends on the amount of rain. No recent rain and it's super easy. If there's been rain, some of those water crossings can be intimidating and/or difficult. We ride it north out of Leakey on RM 336 to TX 41. West on TX 41 and then turn south on an unpaved road called Hackberry Road which eventually takes you southwest to RM 335. Head south on RM 335 until reaching the small community of Vance and turn left (northeast) on RM 2631. RM 2631 meanders through ranches along Bullhead Creek and the pavement ends and it turns into Bullhead Road. Keep following Bullhead Road for a while and it eventually gets paved again and turns into RM 3235. Follow RM 3235 until it meets back up with RM 336 a few miles north of Leakey. That's about 103 miles, if I remember correctly, and there are no gas stations or any other sorts of services available on that loop. Also, I don't recommend that ride during the height of summer for those not fully acclimated to that sort of heat. BRING WATER!!! To get the third Twisted Sister, the ride between Leakey and Vanderpool on RM 337 is very nice, the best part of that particular road. There's a great motorcycle museum in Vanderpool, but it's only open on weekends.
Awesome thanks for the detailed recommendation! I know many viewers would like more unpaved routes, but I barely have time to research all the best PAVED roads in America! Lol. That sounds like an epic adventure route though, thanks for the comment.
I've road all the roads you listed . One advantage to being ADV bike rider.
There are places you can go that most people wouldn't think about if your skill level is up to it. They texas hill country has the best roads for winter time riding that I have found. Lots of great farm roads but watch for deer they run all day long.
We have ridden all these roads at one time or another over the years. This reminds me that it’s time to go back and ride some of them again!
Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Ride well!
Not bad I’ve done 4 of the 10 (routes 1,5,6,10) Started riding at age 47 October 2020 when I bought my first Harley. Since 17 states 8 different Harleys still own 4 and 58,000 miles. Plan to do at least 3 of these this year on trips to MT and TX.
Thanks for the video, gives me ideas for vacation.
Yes sir!
I've been on at least 2 of those rides, Blue Ridge Parkway, Million Dollar Highway, and maybe the Cherhola skyway. As for Skyline Drive I would skip that one unless you enjoy just focusing on the road. It is a very, very twisty road that doesn't let you enjoy the scenery, but it that's what you're into go for it. I agree that the Tail of the Dragon is a famous road but frankly I've been on much more challenging roads from a technical point of view. That said, try and spend a night a the motel at Deals Gap. The rooms are very reasonable if not well appointed but the camaraderie is great especially around the bonfire at night and coffee in the morning. Keep the good stuff coming.
Great recommendations, thanks for the comment!
I'm from Pennsylvania. If you ever ride here may I recommend Route 87 from Montoursville to Dushore PA. Great road with awesome scenery. It only takes about 1 hour to do. 43 miles of awesome road!!
Nice, we will make sure that route is included on our PA page!
Fabulous list! A quick comment for Beartooth. Be prepared for extreme weather changes. As altitude change so do the temps (it's cold up top).
good tip thank you!
Definitely right! I got hailed on and rained on when riding Beartooth within the first 2 hours! Bring that rainsuit!
I just want to inform you on this. Peak to Peak highway is only about 30-40 minutes from Denver. Thanks! Love this list!
yes that is a great one as well!
Amazing video! Thank you for making it!
I am planning to get a motorcycle and drive to all those places from Toronto Canada. Will need to learn more about accommodations and camping places so I can really rest and be strong to be able to enjoy the beauty of those places. I mean, being 51 brings some challenges. Haha!
Cheers!
Awesome, hope you have a great trip, send us some pics!
Just found your YT channel! I've been using your websites for years. Some of the best info I've found since I started riding 10 years ago.
Thank you!
As a Californian, I’ve done route 1 a few times. It never gets old, but watch out for crowds around San Francisco at the weekends and RVs
Good point, thanks for the feedback!
I'm reeeeallly itching to buy a new Tenere or Mt07 end of the month. Good rides in NC
Great roads indeed. I have ridden 7 of the 10. One road that never seems to make anybodies list is Wyoming Highway 16 over the Big Horn Mountains and thru Ten Sleep Canyon. That is my favorite so far.
Right on! Haven't heard of that one, will definitely check that out
Love it!!! I have ridden Tail of the dragon, Cherohala, Blue Ridge, Twisted sisters. Looking to do Pacific coast , Million Dollar highway and Beartooth
Nice! Can’t go wrong with any of those the great thing about the PCH is you can do it almost any time of year. The others will have to be strictly summer
Coronado Trail was epic and completely worth the long July 2022 trip to ride. Two things not mentioned regarding the "not for beginners" part are:
This is mostly an open range road so cattle or cattle droppings can be around every blind corner.
AZDOT has a long section of the highway, with many of the best combinations of curves, as a "surface testing area". This means the road surface changed about every mile for 23 miles...and many of those surfaces were not holding up well depositing gravel in the middle of curves.
Lastly for any rider...when it says no service 62 miles passing the mines in Mercino...they mean it. That includes no cell service (except once or twice at the peaks), fuel, food, potable water, etc until you hit Alpine. There was one Rancher advertising emergency fuel about the 42 mile mark and I suspect some people needed it.
Great info, thanks for the comment!
Great list! Peak to Peak Highway is my weekend ride every single week from mid-April to mid-October every year. We have so many great roads around Denver that we are spoiled for choice. Riding to the top of Pikes Peak or Mount Evans (both over 14,000 ft high) are amazing, as is Squaw Pass Rd. (to get to the base of the Mt. Evans climb) and a dozen others just around the city itself.
Thanks for the feedback!
Great list. I've done five of them. I need to get out West to do the other five. Ride on!
Thanks for the feedback!
Done a couple. 3 sisters in Texas, Colorado Million dollar highway, Devils Highway in E Az, Blueridge Pkwy and CA1. On CA1, I went off-road to the top of Big Sur - Coast Ridge Road. That was epic and very dangerous.
Hwy 12 from Lolo Mt to Lewiston Id. If you’re anywhere near Glacier, it’s worth exploring Northern Id.
Great ride thanks for the recommendation
The PCH its on my to do list. . The Road to the sun and Beartooth pass were closed but Yellowstone was still worth the trip. I would add any of these. Alaska HWY, Top of the World. Fairbanks to Anchorage, Anchorage to White horse to Skagway.
Right on!
Blue ridge Parkway and the Pacific Coast Highway are my favorite. Will definitely go back.
Same here, done them a few times. They never get old !
I have ridden 1-9 already. Still need to get to Route 1 in California. A road you should add to your collection is Route 21 between Idaho City and Stanley Idaho. This was the most fun twisties I rode in the Western US.
Totally agree, we are working on a Idaho video and route 21 is on the list!
after these storms we just had in January 2023, Big Sur section may have some spots closed but it's an awesome ride,If anyone takes PCH/ HWY1, the only downside is Carmel as motorcycles are not allowed on the !17 miles drive route but otherwise it's beautiful. Up north has some amazing scenery through Eureka & Humbolt area as well
Thats a bummer about the PCH just heard the recent storms ruined parts of it again. Thanks for the feedback!
I have ridden everyone of these roads on my motorcycles and most multiple times. They are all great! Beartooth Pass is amazing as is Going to the Sun Rd in Glacier National park. Both of these areas are amazing and the ride is stunning in every way! Both roads in CO are stunning also ! Hwy 1 by Big Sur in CA is stunning also. Get out and truly connect with nature this year!!!
Absolutely, thanks for the feedback!
Great list and I have ridden all of them. I would suggest one more ride , US 12 Lolo Pass, Montana to Clarkston Wa.
Wow well done on doing all those! Yes Lolo pass is awesome, we’ve done it as well
Decent ride from US 395, Nevada,to the California Coast is CA36. There's a break in the Middle at Red Bluff, CA (and crosses US Interstate 5 there). From Red Bluff to the coast is 147 miles of... road and a couple of "Maybe" gas stations. Carry fuel!
yes have heard good things about CA-36, thanks for the note!
Thanks for your hard work putting this together! I just did The Going to the Sun road in Sept. Note the road is terrible from West Glacier to McDonald Lodge. Also you'll experience less traffic if you go from East to West. One road you you missed on your top 10 is Lolo Pass/Hwy 12 from Lewiston ID to Lolo MT.
That is good info, especially since you just did it in September thank you! And yes Lolo Pass is great. We may have to include that one on our 2024 video!
Yep if you like turns that's the one.
Yes - I have to agree with Hwy 12 which (I believe ?) runs along the Clear River or Clearwater River - beautiful.
Thanks for the great video. I plan to ride Going to the Sun Road, Beartooth Hwy and Needles Hwy on a tour next Sept. Can’t wait.
Thanks for watching, have a great ride!
Nice video, My wife and I road 22,000 miles this past year we road every road in the video, The most epic hwy in America (IMO) Lewiston Idaho state route 129 leading into the Hells canyon hwy OMG totally awesome, the best
Very cool! Lewiston Hwy is great. Thanks for the comment!
Rode the Twisted Sisters for the 3rd time on Dec. 20th 2022 and can confirm that the construction is just about done and all roads are open. Leakey has a gas station if you get there and are low. That's about the closest. Otherwise, the closest gas is gonna be Fredericksburg, Kerrville or Bandera. I always stay in Kerrville. Safe riding brothers (and sisters.)
Good info thanks for the comment. That construction has been going on a for a while glad it’s finally finishing up
Thanks!
Thank you!
Great video, thanks. I’ve done the Cherohala Skyway, tail of the dragon, BRP & Skyline drive several times. Also up state New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine. Highway 1 from Bar Harbor to Lubec is very pretty as well. Would love to ride out west more, if I can find the time!!
Same here, those are great roads!
I’ve done cally US1 and ride the twisted sisters every year. About to retire and throw down some miles so thanks for the list. Starting at tail of the dragon.
Awesome hope you have a great ride!
Cherohala is pronounced Cheroholla. I've lived in tn since 92 and ride both the cherohala and us129 aka tail of the dragon. Another great ride is hwy 28 aka moonshiner 28 and devils triangle is a good one. Don't go on the triangle unless you know how to ride.
Thanks for the tips! Working on a NC video out soon
Very inspirational great job
As someone that's been on several of these roads I can say this is a very solid list of places you should visit/experience. Highly recommend. Nice video
Thanks for watching!
