I'd have to nominate US -191 from Clifton to Alpine, AZ. Also known as the Coronado Trail, it's 100 miles of twisties and switchbacks that take you over a 9000' summit and the scenery is outstanding. This is the best ride in AZ!

Did all or part of 7 of these this past summer. All great rides.
The more popular rides I researched so kind of knew what to expect but two that surprised me and kinda caught me off guard were Black Hawk, Central City Colorado and not on the list but just beyond the Torrey Utah ride, out of Hanksville the #95 south that crosses Colorado River through Glen Canyon on to the 191. Love the way the road just cuts through the mountains.



BlackHawk


Glen Canyon
