Most Interesting / Fun Road You've Driven
Re: Most Interesting / Fun Road You've Driven
Great roads in California, but two of the best are Highway 49 the gold country from top to bottom and the Tioga Pass from Lee Vining through Yosemite National Park. Awsome.

16A near Mt Rushmore last week - the pigtails are great fun, and then the Needles Highway with some very interesting tunnels.....

Every Sunday we take local drives, with two overnight trips per year
The single most exciting thing I've ever done was drive the Cabot Trail
This thing is amazing... And if you can get to Cape Breton (Nova Scotia, Canada) then please... please drive this road... Two days of pure adrenaline, and breathtaking views!
In a couple weeks we're going to be driving the Gaspé of Quebec.(Google it if you've never heard of it... Amazing)

monotonous StelvioRedline wrote:The Flüela and Julier passes in eastern Switzerland. Unlike the popular but rather monotonous Stelvio, these are relatively traffic free, especially on a foggy autumn morning, and they have a great combination of 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear corners. The Flüela was part of Top Gear's best roads episode. It's an odd moonscape at the top, as you're above the treeline.
I understand what you mean, but you turn to the world ....
Ciao.

Re: Most Interesting / Fun Road You've Driven
Came here to post exactly this based on the header-- not often the OP beats you to it! I drove this road with every vehicle I owned while in Arizona: Matrix XRS, BMW 325iX, Saturn SL, and Honda CM400, as well as a friend's Talon TSI. Best slow-fast road I've ever found. The paved section is incredible if you go out after the traffic subsides in the evening. Just be careful on that one uphill section that transitions to a sharp hairpin right after you crest...Tango wrote:Not strictly a Fiat thing, but a driving thing: last week She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO) and I took a week vacation in Arizona. We booked a room for our first and last night and otherwise we just wing it. Mid-week found us driving from Apache Junction, just east of Phoenix / Mesa across the Superstition Mountains to the Roosevelt Dam. The eastern half of this is upaved (dirt) with hairpin turns, no guardrails mostly and thousand foot sheer drops. After you get down the worst / best hill you see the wrecks of cars that didnt make it (or which thieves pushed over?). The scenery was incredible when you could risk tearing your eyes from the road. I think it is the most memorable drive (in a good way) I have ever had.
What was yours?

Out here in Virginia, the closer you get to the blue ridge parkway, the better the roads get. Still haven't found anything that compares to the apache trail though.

Re: Most Interesting / Fun Road You've Driven
Not super spectacular but I've driven Rt 20 in Oregon between Corvallis and Newport a couple times in the last month while on a work trip. It goes over the coast mountain range. Later this spring I hope to do some of the US Rt 101, which goes north/south right alonng the coast.
