Best Driver Roads in the US

[sunk]

Which do you think is the best road to drive on in the US ?

I think the interstates in Utah are very fun:) . You can just put your foot down:D and enjoy real 0-60 accerelation.:D Alas for the new speed cameras!:(

I'm sorry, but there's no way that the interstate highways qualify as the best "driver roads".

[Timothy (in VA)]

Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park definitely qualifies, if you can drive it when there's no traffic.

1)Pacific Coast Highway - mostly North of San Luis Obispo. Between LA and San Francisco.
2)Ortega Highway (Hwy 74) - Best from San Juan Capistrano to Lake Elsinore, further East is mostly straght. SE of LA
3)Various roads around San Gabriel mountains; especially Glendora mtn/ridge rds. North of LA
4)18 (Rim of the World Hwy) and 189 near Lake Arrowhead. East of LA
5)243, its between 74 and I-10. I-10 near Banning is where it emerges. East of LA

What other names does it go by? Love to drive it if its close to Grand Canyon National Park.

I live in Indiana so there are no "best road to drive on." Except maybe if a 4 or 5 lane interstate was free of traffic, which happens umm never. But other than that, its all country.

[CHEESE-TACULAR]

the best senic roads are around california:
hwy 1
above yosimetie valley
pebble beach 17 mile drive

Road to Hana on the island of Maui. 600+ turns, 53 bridges, and thousands of bewildered tourists. The road snakes through the rain forest along the Northeastern coast.

thats a great road. i just (the other week) did the devil's stairs or something like that 6 mile hike up to that road and back. it was great. i got some good pictures but i'm too lazy to upload.
you really have to drive that road twice. once for speed and fun then again for the sight seeing

Your #2 pick is a great highway, Even though it scares the crap out of me flying through there on my Triumph Sprint ST 1050!

It's pretty close to me and I love ripping through there in my MX-5. I've seen some nasty wrecks there though. A 914 almost went off just West of the cliffside restaurant, luckily he got caught on some large boulders.

[PrevlingPushrod]

Yeah, P.H.C. is THE best place to drive your car.

It's kind of a special occasion for me. I head that way home from Lake Skinner.

[deadly-phoenix]

I LOVED Highway 1 when I lived there. I even cruised it a couple times in our droptop, there's simply nothing that compares.

There was a little road that connected Highway 1 with the Bay Area called Skyline Road, it's Highway 84 I think. Goes through Woodside and La Honda, I think. It's nice and windy, beautiful scenery, and at the end when you're dropping back over that coastal range into Redwood City, there's a series of tight switchbacks that put a lot of fun into it. I was never much into handling, but it was always good exercise for a car's suspension, it was the first place I took my Mustang after its new suspension.

How about the road from Rapid City, SD to Pierre, SD?
Awesome!

[Schmallz]

The aforementioned 1 and the one and only 101.
This question is bit wierd, but a good conversation starter.
Down here in San Diego, we have everything, long huge 8 lane freeways, cliff hugging highways were you can feel the spray from the waves, hundreds of miles of twistys in my backyard (Rancho) and a drag strip.
I love em all, very hard to choose.
