Post pics of your favorite road to drive

[Yancy]

Been wanting to do this for a while now and finally getting around to doing it. We all love cars and love to drive them on our favorite roads.

Well I am asking you all to post pics of your favorite road to drive, and if you can do a screen shot of the road on google maps of the location of the road.


Here is mine, it is in south west Colorado - from Durango to Montrose, Highway 550. Know to be one of the deadliest but prettiest roads in America. Love that road, my mother hates driving it due to the steep and non-exixtant shoulders on the road.

Here is another favorite 1-70 from Grand Junction to Denver Colorado

Looks incredible! I used to live in Estes Park, Co. Definitely some nice roads up there!

Wow looks awesome. Although you should recommend having a passenger take the pictures.. Or a dash cam.

Thanks! Nothing like driving by yourself taking pics on hairpin turns with thousand foot drops on one side and boulders that can fall on you at anytime on the other. Oh and did I forget to say it was raining when I came back through. Hence the nice waterfall on the road shot. LOL

A great road to drive, especially early in the morning because you have the clouds running through. That pic of the lake is on top of the pass. I stop there each time just to chill and take it all in. Plus helps put everything that you have going on in your life into perspective.

Chief Joseph Scenic Highway in Wyoming. We travel this road in the spring when we go to Cooke City, MT snowmobiling.

The highway climbs 3,000 vertical feet from its junction on the Cody side to 8,050 foot Dead Indian Pass, and drops 2,000 feet on the Cooke City side with an unbroken 7.2 mile double yellow stripe “No Passing Zone” down 7 percent grades with hairpin turns.

This overlook is at the edge of a cliff and the wind is usually shooting straight up as you look over.

Not so much fun when it is snowing heavy, but still a beautiful stretch of highway.

Chief Joseph Scenic Highway in Wyoming - Driven that road bunches of times, grew up in Gillette, Wyoming. Great ones down by the Tetons also, and don't forget the Black Hills in South Dakota.

Didn't take this picture. But it's a portion of road on Route 97 along the Delaware River. The whole road is very scenic and has some nice twisties on it if you are a spirited driver. Only problem is that it's highly traveled by families and of course they never go as fast as you want. Still an awesome road though!!

Wow Yancy, beautiful pictures. I would love to drive on that road one day, but it looks a bit scary. One wrong move and you are literally on a high way to hell. Can't imagine driving on that road at night, but during the day it looks beautiful

Referred to as the "Tail of the Dragon", this glorious road straddles the North Carolina / Tennessee border. The Smokey Mountains have never been so much fun. Literally ... 318 curves in 11 miles!

Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, motorcycle and sport car two lane tourism serving Tail of the Dragon at Deals Gap, Cherohala Skyway, Moonshiner28, Devils Triangle, and Six Gap North Georgia.

(scroll to the bottem of their website, great shots)

About Yancy's pics of the road to Durango...two words>NO WAY! I'm with your Mom on that one.

I am absolutely PETRIFIED of heights (and it got worse as I got older)!

But, it sure IS gorgeous country.

As for my parents these are the road that they love to drive on, and yes that is my 63 year old mother driving the jeep. And after you view these you will wonder why my mother hates the 550 highway.

My parents are into Jeep Crawls, they go to Moab, UT and Colorado. Last year my mother was doing grade 8 trails, the top is 10. She drives and my father spots. And people wonder where I get my adventurous side from.
