    Hey folks! This video is for entertainment purposes only. This list is subjective,but are ideas on road trips for 2023. However, If you have ridden these routes and have helpful details that were not included in the video, please comment below. For example, some riders have already mentioned important details on Going-to-the-Sun road. It’s looking like this channel can be a great forum to offer tips on how to plan riding these great motorcycle roads. Thanks for watching!

  • @bdimon
    @bdimon Před rokem +54

    A suggestion for the Going to the Sun Road: Get up early and ride it before 9:00 am. The tourists like to sleep in.
    Another general suggestion for all the Rocky Mountain roads listed in this video: Ride the high altitudes before lunch. After about 2:00 pm, clouds form and produce thunderstorms. This is due to evaporation as the day warms. Mountains make their own weather so stay alert.

    • @GreatMotorcycleRoads

      Been to the top of Mt Evans 2 times & Pikes Peak 3 times & I say AMEN to going in the mornings because of the storms & may I also suggest dressing for the temps at the top which could very well be in the 30's - I'm an old man (75) & live in Florida & have ridden 8 of these roads (missing Hwy 1 & the sisters) & agree with the choices - saying that I could also say the the top 10 list could easily be expanded to the top 15 - there are just so many - you may want to try the "Back of the Dragon" in southwest Virginia which is 32 miles & 439 curves - beautiful scenery.

    • @michaeldirkes3446
      @michaeldirkes3446 Před rokem +6

      Going to the sun highway has been and will be the best trip I have ever done. That being said, the National Park Service has destroyed that in my opinion by creating a permit system that allows only a few personal vehicles including motorcycles on the road per day. Can only be accomplished by accessing their website 1 day prior to visiting, and after trying for 28 consecutive days in June/July I have given up.

    • @stephenevans596
      @stephenevans596 Před rokem +4

      @@michaeldirkes3446 I heard about this thru the grapevine (so to speak) & fine it to be total BS that the National Park Service would start such a program - I can't help but think about the old saying - "If its not broken don't fix it" - sounds like its typical of our government in everything they do which is to say - all the government seems to do is create problems but never any solutions - I can see as being extremely frustrating 7 IMO there is no need for it.

      @alpine80s Před rokem +4

      At least year in 2022, we rode in early Sept THE DAY AFTER they stopped the ridiculous permits for access! Much less traffic & I rode over Going to the Sun in just a long sleeve shirt so still nice weather. I was born in Alberta Canada but now live in a W. State so probably been over that road 30-40x's. It is still an amazing trip every time!

    This 74-year old rider has ridden all over Europe. All of Italy. The Europeans are always claiming their motorcycle roads are the best.
    They don't know what they are missing - riding these great rides you have presented on your excellent video.
    I have ridden most of the US states. And agree with your choices!
    (If only the speed limits were higher in the US. Beautifully engineered roads - with horse and cart speed limits!)
    Thanks for the video. Great job.

    • @GreatMotorcycleRoads
      @GreatMotorcycleRoads  Před rokem +2

      Thanks for the comment! I have also driven in Italy and France, from the French Riviera up to the Alps. They are incredible. But I agree there is so much to see in the states. Could spend a lifetime riding here and still not see every amazing road. Well done on 74 and still riding, I hope to be doing the same!

    • @hudsonhollow
      @hudsonhollow Před rokem +5

      I agree. Southern Appalachia, in my opinion, has the best roads collectively on the planet.

  • @mikec1254
    @mikec1254 Před rokem +5

    when you do beartooth you need to add 296 Chief Joseph highway well worth the ride the combo is one of the best. I have done 9 out of 10 of these #2 is the only i have missed

    If you ride Peak to Peak highway in Colorado at Estes park spend the night.Plenty of motels,resturants and bars.Get on state route 34 heading west will take you over Trail Ridge road in Rocky Mountain National Park.Magnificent scenery and a killer moto roadHead east on state route 34 and you will go down the Big Thompson river canyon.Another killer moto road.Stunning.Good chance you will see elk,a possible moose or two,Rocky mountain bighorn sheep and montain goats.Enjoy the ride my friends.

    • @GreatMotorcycleRoads

  • @hudsonhollow
    @hudsonhollow Před rokem +3

    I have ridden all but three of these. My favorite is Bearthooth!! I would also add Salt River Canyon Scenic, Az. Cheif Joseph Hwy, which can be ridden along with Beartooth. Richard Russell Scenic Hwy, Ga. Natchez Trace, Ms, Tn. Just some of my favorites. Some I like to keep secret. Many more out there!!!!!!

    • @GreatMotorcycleRoads
      @GreatMotorcycleRoads  Před rokem

      Absolutely! Good point on Chief Joseph being so close to Beartooth

    • @hudsonhollow
      @hudsonhollow Před rokem

      I discovered Tennessee 13 this last July. Just a good Americana experience. I'll certainly ride it again. I connected it to The Trace in Land Between the Lakes and if you have skills and balls of steel, then ride on into Illinois over the Brookport Bridge!!! 😱

    Iv"e been riding for 62 years and have been have had the good fortune to ride 9 out of your best roads. Bear tooth, Million dollar, Road to the sun ,
    Hwy1 all epic. I live in central Cal. and I can tell you that we have many roads in our mountains that are equal 2 or better than most you mentioned. Some that have virtually no traffic and we can ride most of them year round. I have many countless roads 30 Minuets from my house. Probably the only reason to stay in this state.

    • @GreatMotorcycleRoads

    Peak to peak is a beautiful ride, it ends at Estes Park, make a reservation for Rocky Mountain National Park, the entrance is just west of Estes. Finish the loop by going up Hwy 34 through Rabbit Ears pass to Grand Lake, in to Granby Winter Park, catch I-70 back up Golden and Denver.

    • @GreatMotorcycleRoads

      Peak to Peak is awesome. Could easily be in a top ten for sure. Thanks for the recommendation!

    @mldiode Před rokem +1

    One thing about heading from Cherokee on the BRP is wait till after 10:00 a.m. as you’ll be riding with the sun in your eyes before then. Going around some of those turns will face you right into the Sun. Can be un-nerving. It’s a great road with lots of views.

    @motolaxin2514 Před rokem +13

    I have been on most of these roads and I have the good fortune of living right next to #10, Hwy 1 in California. I take this trip about once a month and it never gets old. I do have some tips about this road. Try to avoid going in the summer. The fog rolls in every summer (due to the hot Central Valley summers) and severely restricts your ability to see the great views. Also, the road is crowded during the summer time since that is when most people travel. If you can get some time off in the winter, that is the time to go. Bring your winter gear, the temps will be as low as the 40s. However, if you get a sunny day and wait until mid-morning, you should be able to get temps in the 60s. All of the footage I have collected for my channel has been during the winter. Finally, while it was mentioned that Big Sur is the highlight, I would say it is the only part that is worth doing. The road is truly epic from Carmel to Cambria (around 100 miles). There are other nice patches, but this is the truly epic stretch.

    • @GreatMotorcycleRoads
      @GreatMotorcycleRoads  Před rokem

      Yeah that part of HWY 1 is probably my favorite as well

    Another fine, scenic, and informative video. I want to add a little side trip and photo op off the Cherohala in TN. The turn off to Bald River Falls is a nice Kodak Moment and they're is a swimming hole too. COLD even on a hot summer day! The road is paved and has a sign for the turn off. Thanks for the ride along and Happy Trails!

    had an epic ride on the Million Dollar Hwy in 2011. On Aug. 12th we got caught in an unexpected snowstorm. Weather report was light rain... Ooops. Went back in 2018 in late July and had a wonderful ride. I've ridden half of these now have a new list to conquer, thanks for sharing.

    Great list! One road I’ve never seen mentioned on any video or article is the Road To Hana in Maui. If curves and scenery are what make a great motorcycle road, then this road is it! Traffic can be a concern, and watch out for those single lane bridges.

      Nice! Can’t go wrong with any of those the great thing about the PCH is you can do it almost any time of year. The others will have to be strictly summer

    Great list! Peak to Peak Highway is my weekend ride every single week from mid-April to mid-October every year. We have so many great roads around Denver that we are spoiled for choice. Riding to the top of Pikes Peak or Mount Evans (both over 14,000 ft high) are amazing, as is Squaw Pass Rd. (to get to the base of the Mt. Evans climb) and a dozen others just around the city itself.

  • @keithkeller6509

    I've ridden two of these. US-1 and the Cherohalla. Both awesome roads. Traffic was a bit of an issue on the day I did US-1 (weekend). Looping the Cherohalla in with the Dragon is a full day, and you will be exhausted by the end. I'm going to be doing US-191 this spring with an old buddy. Happy trails brothers and sisters.

    @vanislerider7311 Před rokem +2

    So I've ridden, #1, #2, #3 (by car), #4, #5, #7, #8, #9, and #10.
    I would add highway 242 from Belknap Springs, Oregon to Sisters. It starts out in a labyrinth of switch backs up through local temperate rainforest and empties out onto a volcanic wasteland. Once you've recovered from the transition and viewed the area from the volcano rock viewing tower you drop down through a region of beautiful Ponderosa pine and into the inviting little town of Sisters.
    I'd also like to offer up, Hwy 20 between Winthrop, WA and Rockport, Wa. of which the best is the the section going through the Northern Cascade Mountains by Diablo Lake.

    • @GreatMotorcycleRoads

    You don't even mention Vermont?! Us Canadians take a nice leisurely and scenic ride down to Vermont through the Champlain by-way and Champlain islands, have lunch then spend a couple of days ripping through all the mountain twisties in and around Killington. One of our favourite annual trips.

    Great video...We've ridden all but two. Our criteria for best roads are different but covers some the same roads in this video. I'm sure some of our choices were in your 2022 list. Of course we love California's Hwy 1, PCH or whatever ppl are calling it...We live in Cali and ride it often, we can never get enough on the ocean.

    I have ridden everyone of these roads on my motorcycles and most multiple times. They are all great! Beartooth Pass is amazing as is Going to the Sun Rd in Glacier National park. Both of these areas are amazing and the ride is stunning in every way! Both roads in CO are stunning also ! Hwy 1 by Big Sur in CA is stunning also. Get out and truly connect with nature this year!!!

    i was pleasantly surprised to find two rides right off the bat that i have taken were #1 & #2 on your list. I lived in Texas in 2019-2020 and did the 3 sisters. it was a beautiful ride and the scenery was beautiful. We did it in the middle of the summer though and it was blistering hot🔥!! fast forward to 2021 i moved to Rio Rancho, New Mexico. The riding out here in Northern New Mexico/Colorado/Utah is breath taking. I put more miles on my bike out here in one year than i did the first 3 years i owned it. I am originally from Upstate Northern NY in the Adirondack Mts, so finding rides out here made me feel a little bit like being home again
