.................................................. ... Beartooth Hwy,Mt............ U.S.Rt. 550,Colorado......................PCH,Calif,Oregon ,Washington................................Going to the Sun,Mt....................Rt36,Calif.............. ................... U.S. Rt. 12 Idaho,Mt.........................Hwy 2 (Angeles Crest),Calif......................Rt. 58,Calif............................Rt.129,Wa. The list is crap.......Rt.12 starts at the Pacific Ocean,and goes all the way across Washington,very scenic ride.Yet they left hundreds of miles off the complete run. Way better roads all over the west than what that list has.....some desk bound dweeb with nothing to do.

5, 9, and 15. And there are SO many more in WA state. N. Cascades hwy, Chinook pass, etc. Too bad most of the best ones are closed in the winter. Too bad riding is tough around here all winter - - winter SUCKS!!!!!

I just completed a trip through West Virginia and I can honestly say that there wasn't a road I was on that doesn't deserve to be on this list. Not to mention the fact that they left off any road in New England. You're telling me that Route 100 down the spine of the Green Mountains or the Kancamagus Highway in New Hampshire don't deserve to be on this list?

I've done all but the Dragon and US 33. I think my favorite is probably PCH. I've riddin it several times over the years and it's always a good ride. A lot of different weather is possible on it just about any time of year. I wouldn't advise it if you are in a hurry.

I hooked up with a GW about 25 years ago just north of San Francisco and we rode it non stop and in a hurry all the way up to Portland together. Kicked my ***.

I've done 2,3,5,7. favorites are Cherohala and PCH. I'm a native of Washington, so would like to ride there, but getting there is a problem maybe rent.

I've ridden on half (8) listed. Hwy 58 in Ca., must be a joke, that highway sucks, mostly straight Desert highway. Wouldn't go out of the way to ride it.
