Since I'm at a "mature" age, I will skip those in Asia and South Africa at this time. Great pictures and super roads.

They have to be kidding about Afghanistan. They will skin you alive just for being there.

Beartooth Scenic Highway

Any listing of scenic highways is not complete without including the Beartooth in Montana.

Driven that. In my TDI, too. Lots of fun.

Or going to the sun at glacier.

I was just in Montana, drove south from Ft McLoed Alberta, crossed over at Piegan MT crossing. I wanted to do the Glacier Hwy to get to Kalispell, but unfortunately it was closed. I had to continue south to Browning MT - what an awesome stretch of road for twisties!!! The new GSW handled it great but I was longing for my Mini JCW lol...
Browning over to Kalispell was also a very nice drive. Not overly challenging but beautiful. Kalispell to Elko BC via Whitefish MT was also real nice. Great weekend!

Anywhere in BC, unless near a city.

^^ yes ^^

Going to the Sun is best on a bicycle, especially downhill! Ditto for the Beartooth.

All ready on my trip plan for August.
Looked interesting in the atlas, and after checking the link, looks even better.

Drive up in New Hampshire and take the Kankamangus Highway

Some of these I can do at some point.

The Kankamangus highway is closed all winter.. it opens in May. I recommend taking it. I went to the White Mountains with the Mrs. in my Wrangler... now we will take the TDI.


Also.. Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor Maine.. really cool.

I have a local road that gives the tail of the dragon a run for the money but it's not as desolate.

Mt. Washington Auto Road - NH

Where is the Pacific Coast highway in that list? Seriously one of the most beautiful roads I've ever driven.

Completed the Cabot Trail (Nova Scotia, Canada) this summer. One of the most amazing drives I've ever done.

Best of all I had a GoPro attached to the roof...video may be boring, but it shows a good view of the sights along the trail!

Looks ALOT like the PCH... I should edit my trip that I had a dash cam video of when I drove down the PCH last

Although the Beartooth Pass is on my bucket list, I've been all over that area and never took the time to venture up and over....Maybe summer of 2016 in the ALH Vanagon!

Completed the Cabot Trail (Nova Scotia, Canada) this summer. One of the most amazing drives I've ever done.

Did the Cabot Trail right after the TDIFest. Nice drive is right. Trees right up to the edge of the island make it a bit hard to see the ocean. Lots of bike riders also.

?. HAHAHAHA, this NOT about the post but about your B4V Mr Jackson!
Your B4V is set up nicely, like mine IF mine was done right.
The turbo; the sixth..., 24 PSI ?, and no need for this ? !

some of my favorites

My favorite is probably the Icefields Parkway 93 , Alberta CA.

If you going to Bear tooth , make sure and drive Chief joseph highway 296, had the pleasure of riding it each of the last two years.

Highlights From my ride to Alaska this year,
The Alcan massive expances of wilderness,

The Dalton, rough road but very Beautiful up to Galbraith Lake campsite.

The drive into Valdez ,

cassiar highway,

37 into Stewart/Hyder saaweeet

a road not mentioned much, 141 from Naturita to Grand Junction, Bea-utiful.

Almost any where in Utah

Big beautiful World out there

^ Icedields parkway 93 is a very scenic drive, and Jasper is a great town to visit for a weekend.

Also.. Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor Maine.. really cool.

I'm lucky to have Acadia so nearby. I found alt. 89 in arizona pretty amazing. It goes from bitter springs across marble canyon, past the vermilion cliffs, climbs the kaibab plateau through kaibab national forest and on to Jacob Lake near the north rim of the grand canyon. Some pretty inspirational views for a northeastener.

After viewing a Youtube video of that road, I found it hard to believe that there are 318 curves in 11 miles.

Sure enough, when I contacted the owner of the web site and asked for his definition of a curve, he admitted that a single curve would be counted as two or three curves if the radius changed along it.

A twisty road I drive often. Hard to count the curves.

North Cascades Highway, Lochsa River between Lolo Pass and Lewiston, ID, Cedar Canyon Road, between Cedar City and Cedar Breaks, UT, Gardiner River between Bozeman and West Yellowstone, Little Cottonwood Canyon near Salt Lake City, I'll think of more.
