What's your favorite scenic drive?

[abqtommy]

Mine is US 395 between Mount Vernon, Oregon at the southern end and Pendleton, Oregon at the northern end. I drove this route with my Dad when I was 13 years old (at night) and a few times as an adult during daylight, doing my own driving. The 2-lane highway crosses the Umatilla National Forest in the Blue Mountains and I've got lots of good memories there.

1. Route 146 in CT...

...along the shore, from Guilford to Branford. It's virtually unchanged from the 1960s, thank God, and has everything along it. A piece of New England that's vanishing...

2. Rte 6 across northern Pennsylvania

3. Going to the Sun Road,

through Glacier National Park is breathtaking.

4. Yes

That is the winner.

6. Been there, done that and have the pictures to prove it.

Both my parents are Montana natives and I've lived in the area as child and adult. Breathtaking!
Here in New Mexico I was surprised to find that the continental divide between Grants and
Ramah (driving on State 53) is actually higher in elevation than Logan Pass (but without the majestic scenery). Go figure!

17. That's on my bucket list.

My mother, who'd traveled in 49 states, most several times, and loved nature, said outside of Switzerland, Going to the Sun Road was the most beautiful and her most loved drive.

My husband's 1st cousin lives on Flathead Lake, so visiting there is also on my bucket list.

5. The road between Carmel and Big Sur in the spring.

Mountains & redwoods on one side beach on the other. Golden and orange CA poppies on the mountains where it's sunny and dark blue Columbines in the shady places - it's just gorgeous.

8. I do love the Kancamagus. I havent driven it in years though.

9. Great Ocean Road

In Victoria, Australia on the way to Melbourne.
So many great stop to see and many great place to overnight for a day or two. It's a bit of a hairy drive though, I would really love to travel it as a passenger.

10. Rhode Island Rt 77

Beautiful beaches, pastures, woods, a pond, farm stands. Love it

11. 191 thru Moab, UT. Breathtaking.

[Mme. Defarge]

12. Interstate 84 from Astoria, Oregon to The Dalles

Last year I saw the Lorelei while cruising the Rhine, and, after having experienced the staggeringly beautiful Columbia Gorge, I wondered what all the fuss was about.

13. The Pig Trail

Arkansas highway 23, runs north-south in northwest Arkansas, Ozark Mountains.

Beautiful in the fall.

[Faux pas]

14. Too many to pick

just one. Most are in Oregon, Washington and a few in California.

15. Blue Ridge Parkway

[wishstar]

16. Cherohala Skyway in peak fall colors (between NC and TN)

rivals the Blue Ridge Parkway for fall color.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Nearby, my favorite is US 35, the Great River Road

that goes along the Mississippi River on the Wisconsin side, along the bluffs.

[Fla Dem]

19. Through the Green Mountains in Vermont during the fall foliage.

Unbelievable colors. Almost made me cry at the awesome beauty.
