One of my favorites is Chief Joseph highway / Beartooth pass in Montana.
That’s a good one too!
@@adamsandoval absolutely that is stunning Road to ride
I got to check Beartooth Highway/Pass off of my bucket list this past summer; it was an amazing ride!
Top 3 places on my bucket list that I want to go.
1. Isle of man tt.
2.sturgies.
3.kriver campground.
Over 50+ years of riding, we have done all those recommended roads. My favorite is still the Black Hills - not just Needles Highway, but all of Custer State Park, Iron Mountain Road, Mt Rushmore, Highway 385 to Deadwood, Nemo Road from Rapid City to north of Nemo, Vanocker Canyon Road between Nemo and Sturgis, Spearfish Canyon in the northern Black Hills. We have spent the last 3 summers riding in that area, based just south of Rapid City - every direction is a great ride.
Yup.... if you're going to the Black Hills, none of the roads are long, but there are so many, and they're all great.
One problem with Going To The Sun Hwy--when the weather is good, the traffic is always hell with campers, rec vehicles, and the traffic jams are unbelievable. You can smell burning clutches, hot torque converters constantly from the stop-and-go driving all the way up. It is maddening, it takes all the joy out of the climb. Greatest scenery on earth however!
Thumbs up for Scooter forever!
Good morning Adam glad to see glacier park is on the top 10 my people have roamed that land for centuries that's where our reservation use to till they made it a national park so just moved us over I have picks my grampa was in ww2 after he got home he worked the park clearing snow I have pics from 50s when he was plowing snow
Riding from browning over to the park is amazing! Been years since I was through there. Stopped at the Charlie Russell museum
Iron Mountain Road in the Sturgis area is on par with Needles.
It's a really tough call, but I think I may actually like Iron Mountain Road more than Needles; they're both awesome.
@@terrillwolf2552 I like Iron Mountain Road more.
I did million dollar Highway this passed year absolutely amazing
I did it last year for the first time as well, was absolutely breathtaking and am doing it again this year!
I have ridden all five roads: it’s splitting hairs trying to rank them, but, living on the tail end of the Appalachians, love riding those mountains. Still, I think GTSR and Million Dollar highway are outstanding as are numerous other roads in the Rockies. I am 69 years old and am riding as many of the bucket list roads as I can before I kick the proverbial bucket.
My best ride is to where I’m going and the ride home 👍
Adam you need to ride Highway 12 between Lolo Montana and Lewiston Idaho it is absolutely beautiful it's about a 175 -mile ride and it's all along the Snake River it's absolutely beautiful
Im heading thru there in Sept....been twice and its a GREAT ride!!! Very overlooked!
Went to college in Spearfish, SD in the 60s. Didn’t have a car but that didn’t stop us from weekend trips to Deadwood in the middle of winter. Got to know where the black ice would be. Rolled into deadwood one night just as the sheriff was closing the road out of town because of the heavy snow. 1967 I think.
Buy the damn Motorcycle! My favorite quote of yours.
The Going to the Sun road is spectacular. If anyone plans on doing this ride, make sure you head to Kalispell, spend a night or two there and make sure you go to Moose's Saloon. The pizza is really good there.
I have to agree with a lot of people in the comments that route 12 and a lot of Utah is mind blowing. The views of the vastness is crazy
2nd that! MY FAVORITE!!!!
Adam, you named some great ones. Sun road is on my list!!! One of my favs is US1 to Key West. Great blue water views, lots of great food stops and a check off corner.
This top 5 is very, very good, but Joseph Highway WY-296 out of Cody, Wyoming up to Highway 212 is one of the most unknown/underrated highways in America. The road is smooth, long sweeping turns that climb up & down the some of the most beautiful mountain passes. Going up & back gives two incredible & yet different views
The Chief Joseph byway is BEAUTIFUL as is Beartooth pass! And I also really enjoy the Bighorn mountain routes...and I agree forwards and backwards are totally different! Gorgeous place!
Yes going to Cooke city,mont. Was one of my favorite trips in my 3 million miles in my semi. Also 2nd in my list is flaming river gorge from wy into utah
@@anthonygranger7389 when you do that flaming gorge ride and if you are going near Dinosaur national park....take a trip into there...very cool place
Did that last year and coupled with the beartooth highway and northern yellowstone it was the top road I have ever been on.
@@mojoriden I've only done chief Joseph pass in my semi delivered Polaris snowmobile to Cooke city but I will be doing it on my bike hopefully this summer
My wife and I rode down to Going to the Sun right before covid hit. And we're so glad we did. I turned off the engine at the top and coasted for 30+ miles! Gorgeous land, and fantastic restaurant at the bottom in West Glacier. Bison and elk burgers. Waiting for the boarders to open up completely again so we can get down into the US again.
I'm hitting Going to the Sun Road in August. I'm stoked to go.
I threw my tent on the back, went to Sturgis a few weeks after it ended, did needles and all the others, so many cool things too see there if you take some time, also Glacier, some beautiful country, check the weather the day you go even if it’s August.
I agree with captain Jim. The black hills is hard to beat for me
For those in the Southeast that want a calm tour, but don't feel they are up to the constant curves and switchbacks of BRP, Cherohala, Moonshiners, Ocoee Gorge, US129, etc... consider the Natchez Trace. Nashville to Natchez and mostly flat, but calm, no commercial traffic, no trucks, 45mph and some beautiful park spots with camping on the trace or hotel cities just a few miles off.
Definitely not a breathtaking highway to make the top 5, but an excellent starter tour.
I've been on the Natchez Trace, too. Agree it's a nice peaceful ride. Speed limit is contolled and not much traffic. Also, a lot of historic places to visit along the way. Rode it south to north after leaving Natchez, MS.
I drive that road often travelling bqck and forth from OH to MS. Beautiful road, awesome views. Just gotta watch the speedo.
Needles was a great ride, while your out there I also recommend riding Spear Fish cannon, and riding out to devil's tower
You missed beartooth pass
That comes in #7 on the list
Two more for your list, hwy 50 across California and Nevada, America's loneliness hwy. And route 66 from Chicago to Los. Angeles
I grew up in Farmington, NM and camping and touring the mountains around Silverton, Ouray. Can't beat the experience. You'll have to go back with a side by side and spend a few days on the mountain trails and scenic byway. End of July is the best time to go.
Great roads, love Beartooth pass from Cook City to Redlodge
I've ridden all the aforementioned roads and couldn't agree more with what Adam said. Saying that FM 170 from Persidio to Terlingua, Texas and the Mt. Washington Auto Road up Mt. Washington in New Hampshire are not to be missed and should be on eveyones list!
I’ve only ridden a couple of these - but one of my favorites so far that’s not on the list is 89a from Prescott Az up to Jerome. I’ve never giggled like a kid on a roller coaster while on a bike like I did on that ride!
Riding through all 48 states of the lower US is my goal in retirement, iv,e got 38 under my belt so far and have ridden 3 of the 5 roads Adam talks about here. Something he doesn't mention about one of my favorite rides is the proximity of the Tail of the dragon and the Wheels Through Time museum just off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Along with about a weeks worth of other awsome and challenging routs ie the Devils Drop, the Moonshiner, Back of the Dragon exc.
I have ridden 4 of them, your right about the road to the Sun in Glacier National Park it’s amazing, but weather can change fast. We rode it in August it was 75 degrees when we started up the road to the sun and 45 and raining when we came down the other side.
You should do a quick search for "Is it rude to wear sunglasses indoors when talking to someone?" Drives me nuts!
Well if you don't like it, don't watch. Last time I checked this was Adam's channel & maybe he likes wearin sunglasses inside. Also he's talkin to the camera so technically he's not talkin to "someone", he's talkin to "something". But based off the nature of this comment your probably one of the people that's softer than wet toilet paper that think the camera has feelings. So I don't know what to tell ya other than no, it's not rude. & who TF uses Google to determine what's rude & what's not...
@@HarleyMFDavidson.90 at least I have balls enough to use my real name.🖕
Yup, “life is short, ride your adventure”. No truer words have been spoken. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
After living in Colorado for 17 years I have to agree the roads in the southern part of the state are spectacular. My favorite riding is still the Black Hills however. At some point the Mrs and I will spend some real time out west again and hopefully ride those beautiful roads once again.
Looks like I've got a lot of riding to do. Those look amazing.
If you ever get the chance you should try to hit the tunnel of trees in northern Michigan M119. Only about 30 miles but if you come in the fall with the colors… worth every mile my man
I agree on Tunnel of the Trees. At the end have a drink at Legs Inn, worth the stop. Then prepare your self for the ride over the Mackinaw Bridge. It will be more exhilarating than you think it will be.
Until you ride 36 in Cali from Red Bluff to the Humbolt Redwoods south of Fortuna these faves are fine. But 140 miles of curves and amazing changes of geography you will just shrug at these 5. Ride on brother.
Done just 3 of the 5. The two left are Going to the Sun and the Blue Ridge Parkway. This year we have plans for GNP so we'll get that one done. Last year my son and I got rained out for our trip to Tennessee but I'll get that one done within a year. ALL GREAT ROADS!
I've done 4 of these roads. Still need to do the Parkway
I agree with all those choices. The only one I've never ridden was the million dollar highway
The Cherohala Skyway is an impressive ride. Only about 52 miles, but spectacular views. Starts in Tellico Plains, Tn and ends at Robbinsville, NC. And while you are at the eastern terminus, you might as well turn north on 129 and ride the "Tail of the Dragon", a short but extremely technical ride of 11 miles and 318 turns.
Needles Hwy is in my back yard. So to speak. I highly recommend making it into a loop with Iron Mt Rd. Makes for a fun ride.
Agree with million dollar highway love riding the canyons with my uncle from Colorado. I want to ride the parkway and and some of them around sturgis the first time I ride up there
Couldn't agree more with your list. I've ridden everyone at least once and PCH, Blue Ridge Parkway & Needles Highway multiple times. Being in SoCal, PCH is ridden at least 2-3 times a year between LA & Monterey. I noticed that all your rides are MOF's: Mountain, Ocean & Forest rides, which offer the most stunning landscapes.
Another Category might be PDP's: Plateaus, Desert & Plains rides. A few that come to mind are Highway 50 across Nevada between Ely & Fallon. Nevada's Highway 6 in from Tonopah to Ely(the real loneliest road in the lower 48: 168 miles of open spaces crossing multiple mountains & valleys) & Highway 89 from Flagstaff, Arizona to Glacier National Park in Montana. There are great roads all over the world, but we are blessed in America to have such a variety of great roads to ride.
Thanks for weighing in on that 👊
If you're in Las Vegas, you should take a ride in the Valley of Fire. It's an hour north of LV. Only a short ride but breath-taking scenery.
Just did a run up PCH from San Fransisco to Mendocino, amazing riding. Doesn’t really get any better.
Adam, you really need to come up to the Canadian Rockies too.
I’d be happy to show you some of the best roads in the world.
I’d love to!
Yep, the highway from Calgary to Banff to Jasper is amazing.
Gotcha, summers in the west, mountain west, falls on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Got it.
Rode my bicycle up Going to the sun Road and back down the other side, one of the greatest rides Ive even been on, words don't do it justice.
It is a great ride at one point when you are traveling through one of many tunnels you look up and see Mt. Rushmore.
Man I live in Swtitzerland so i'm used to mountains but I'd love to see yours in the US ! Thanks for the advice !
I’m sure a lot of us in the US would absolutely love to ride out your way 💯
I’ve ridden 3 of the 5; not mentioned here is one of my favorite. California 49, the Gold Highway.
Looks like awesome rides!
Some awesome riding there. Only parts of the blue ridge parkway. But you have the Tale of the Drago and the Cherahola SkywY right there too😎😎
Hey Adam, as I've told you before, I've traveled across the country multiple times too. I've done all these rides and definitely agree with number one. My number two though would be the Sun Road through Glacier. There's just so many it's extremely hard to choose. Route 12 and 190 through Utah, state 2 through Washington. Following US 2 across country and actually almost all the US routes. Gheesh, I'm just thankful to God that he's given me the health to do all these rides. I'll be on number 13 cross country road trip late spring, early summer, not bad for an almost 74 year old.
RIDE ON
Man I agree on the Hwy 12 in Utah...my favorite! West to east - Hwy12 to Torrey to 24 to Hanksville to 95 thru Hite and Fry canyon! I Also really like the north and south routes of the Big Horn mountains and certainly Beartooth Pass and Chief Joseph Byway!
Great roads to ride I was fortunate to ride them 3 times with my 80 year old Fathernlaw the first time he was 78 and the last 2 he was 80. He has passed now but you keep throwing down the miles that is awesome. Utah is beautiful.
Thanks, sunny side up and rubber side down! 👍
Washington is definitely beautiful for sure.
Richardson Highway in Alaska, Bear Tooth Pass, Natchez Trace and Talimena scenic Drive are some of my favorites. Ride safe Adam!
I just rode from San Fran to Yosemite and rt120 was one of the most beautiful roads I’ve ridden. I’ve done all but the Sun Road in your top 5. I’d have to put 120 coming into Yosemite to Big Oak Flats Rd as one of the best I’ve ever experienced. Absolutely breathtaking ripping through the desert landscape of Knights Ferry and the Red Hills that bring you right to the entrance to the park. This road will bring a tear to your eye with the right weather and company. I had a perfect ride here. One feeling that I hope everyone gets to experience at least once in their life.
Beartooth Pass, Going to the Sun Road, Million Dollar Highway, Route 92 through Gunnison National Forest & Iron Mountain Road
We rode Needles two years ago in July. It’s a fun ride but the traffic was nuts: there were a lot of big vehicles (3/4 ton trucks,RVs) that had no business being on that road. It wasn’t quite a parking lot but we did have to get in front of some traffic in order to really enjoy it. I don’t recall paying twenty bucks but I’ll defer to our host on that point.
Needles and the blue ridge are the 2 I’ve done that are both awsome roads
I want to know how many miles this man has on his primary motorcycle ! This will probably end up in a museum one day a relic
I couldn't agree more.
If you do going to the sun road plan a stop at lake Mcdonald to check it out you won't be disappointed
I was going to Glacier last year, but I didn't jump on it until it was too late. Covid has really screwed up the opportunities to visit National Parks. I went to the North Shore of Lake Superior instead. Still no hotels available, but I got a campsite for $50/ night. Can't wait till the craziness is over and people forget about camping!
Beautiful spots to ride would love to have the opportunity to ride in areas like these
Nice! And thanks for not including "the dragon". 😂☮️
Duuuuuude your channel is the best channel on friggin youtube. I always look forward to your videos
I appreciate that 👊 ill keep em coming
I’ve ridden them all except “Going to the sun road” was still closed when I got there. I would put Needles further down the list on its own but when you add all the other great riding in that area as a whole, it’s up there. Million Dollar highway is great and you can take a left at the top and come back down across lizard head pass and duck into Telluride. Just an outstanding area
I agree! 👊
I stayed in Silverton as well! Loved it I'll be back again! From Michigan 🤚🏼
I gotta put PCH on the bucket list.
I agree Blue ridge parkway is a really good good ride I've lived here my whole life not even 10 minutes from parkway and there's so many roads off the parkway that are just as good
Great list. Did Needles 21 years ago, don’t remember paying anything then. September 2021 I did a solo ride from just north of Chicago down to San Felipe, Baja MX. On the way did Million Dollar Highway, it is exhilarating, especially when you stop on the side of the road to take pictures on the loose sloping gravel with shear drops just feet away.
The ride that surprised me the most was near your neck of the woods - Talimena Scenic Byway. Maybe not a top five in scenery, but still vey scenic. What impressed me was the great condition of the road, you could ride with decent speed, next to no traffic (I like empty roads) and no stop sign or light for fifty miles. Plan it like I did and take the one place to get off, right in the middle. Spend the night at Gibby’s Biker Camp. You know what good people they are. Continue on the next day.
Chicago to Baja is impressive! Glad to hear you liked talimena byway so much. Hobby’s is definitely a must see motorcycle stop, he’s a great guy. Did you know talimena is in my backyard?! Next time you’re down this way stop at the k river campground!
@@adamsandoval I will definitely stop by next time I am down that way. Thanks for the great videos and all that you do for our veterans.
I'm 2 for 5 million dollar highway and needles. Definitely have the other three on my list. Great choices. Thanks for sharing.
I have rode all the places you named,spot on with all of them
I did Needles, Iron Mountain Pass
& Spearfish canyon …Devils Tower… Blue Ridge too…. Great roads !!!!
Sorry… I forgot to mention Rt. 1 the “Overseas Highway” through the Florida Keys !!!
I've ridden across the country 3X. Going to the Sun Road was the best IMO.
Awe man 😔 Seeing SCOOTER in this video still brings tears to my eyes 😥 Sure do miss seeing him. Ride high Scooter 🤘❤
My buddy and I did that trip. He wanted to take a photo of me under the eye of the needle sign so I mooned him. Now he has the brown eye of the needle photo. With covid it was important to laugh.
1 turns into 101 and goes along the coast all the way to Canada
Going to the Sun is on my list for this year. Chief Joseph over Beartooth is an honorable mention.
Beartooth pass going from Red Lodge Mt up to the top and then down the other side. You can either take it to Yellowstone or end up in Cody Wy depending on what you are looking for.
Adam is correct on Needles Hwy but why your doing that also do the Pig Tails. It's just gorgeous riding to and from where your camping/staying at in Sturgis area!
Beartooth Pass is one of my favorites, I do not like riding in the mountains when the guard rails are scarce, so I have avoided Million Dollar Highway. Hogsback on Utah 12 too.
Beautiful roads have been on the blue ridge parkway myself enjoy the k River videos to it looks awesome keep the videos coming and may scooter forever ride with you in your heart
I can’t wait for your trip to Alaska. 🇺🇸👍
Wow, you hit it, I’ve ridden all of these except road to the sun and they are awesome!
I’ve done the Blue Ridge Parkway many times since we live in East Tennessee 6 months out of the year😎 Love riding in the Black Hills👍🏻
100% agree with you on all.of these roads mentioned Adam there all on bucket list. I will ride all of them before I die. Not trying to anytime soon but you get the point. Great video as usual man.
Hello Adam, Im from North New Jersey, we have axcess to some of the best roads in the north east, The Catskills, the Adirodacks, The Pocono's in Pa. I can be in West Virgina in 4 hours. I can go on and on. But I have never been any place including the Black Forest as peaceful and serene as our own Blue Ridge Mt highway. Hands down the best area in the U.S .
Needles was the bomb!
Adam, I'm sure you've hit just about every hwy there is. Your list of taken your time is spot on.im sure you've been here to.
Zion to hwy 12 up through capital reef and down through natural bridges to monument valley and N rim of Grand Canyon is where one gets 1 with their soul
Yeah he did a trip on 12 but he had to trailer thru there in the snow! (he might have gone back again) That is absolutely my favorite riding there (especially going down out of the pass looking on capitol reef! not to mention the Hells Backbone experience......AND lol...fry canyon and Hite area)...goosebumps every time I go...its a euphoric experience!!!
One of the best road you don't mentioned is the Thompson pass lead to Valdez Alaska , for sure in the the top 5 !
We live in Rapid City, SD and are lucky enough to ride the Black Hills every day. Such a beautiful area and the riding is fantastic.
Great video. Myself and the wife have rode all those ourselves except the California route. Keep up the good work
Hey Adam, I have road 3 out of the five. Planning on riding the blue ridge parkway end of May. For me, beartooth pass is definitely one of my top three rides. Thanks for the great video.
Beartooth pass and Chief Joseph byway are amazing!!!!
Thank you for sharing, I love the dream rides and the scenery. Also saw scooter loved that boy. Again thank you for sharing. Be safe and keep the shiny side up.
Thanks for tuning in 👊
New subscriber as of today! Great list. I have done 2 out of 5. Needles Highway and The Blue Ridge Parkway. The bride and I were just talking about doing the PCH. I am blessed with living in Laconia, NH for the summer, so I have done a ton of rides in New England. One of my favorite roads is Route 1 in Maine. Kennebunkport - Rockland - Bar Harbor. You will need a solid 5 if not 6 days to do this right. It is a 190 miles of pure East Coast joy! Love your videos and enjoyed your sponsorship of the Rik Rack system. P.S. I have one thanks to you. Love it.
I’m glad you’ve found the channel 👊 and that you’ve subscribed!
Great explanations, lots of colorful insights.
Pismo Beach! 1 block inland from the start of the pier sits Splash Cafe. Fresh clams flown in daily from the Puget Sound here in the Seattle are. Best clam chowder in California, several years running. Served hot in a round loaf of sour dough. About 7 inches in diameter. Used as a bowl, it's core is grilled in garlic butter and served to be torn up and dipped in the chowder. Great food. Best I've ever had.
I lived in pismo for several years in my 20s. Love it there
We loved Needles Hwy and Custer State Park. The views, switchbacks and even the donkeys made it a unique experience!
