BEST MOTORCYCLE TRIPS

Beartooth Pass in Montana and Wyoming

If you are looking to escape the connected world, Beartooth Pass is a gem for riders. It traverses a remote part of Montana and Wyoming where you are more likely to see mountain goats or a bear. You'll see abundant mountain wildflowers and climb from 7,500 to 11,000 feet as you drive over the Beartooth and Absaroka Mountains. This All-American Highway is full of switchbacks and is a wilderness delight. This highway will beckon you to stop and enjoy the sights, so plan ahead for food, lodging and more.

Tail of the Dragon in Tennessee

If the name doesn't scare you away, the ride might. This stretch of highway is only 11 miles long, but it has 318 curves that will have you concentrating the whole way. If that weren't enough, you will be riding alongside large drop-offs that may scare you if you are afraid of heights. This highway will challenge the most experienced motorcycle riders, so be sure you are awake and alert for this ride. Many accidents and deaths have occurred here, so put your safety first always. You'll be close to the Great Smoky Mountains, so be sure to check out the sights there, too!

The Pacific Coast Highway

A perpetual favorite amongst motorcycle riders, the Pacific Coast Highway (otherwise known as Route 1) in California offers some of the most beautiful coastlines in the continental United States. You'll be treated to breath-taking ocean views and beautiful cliffs, and you'll get to see redwood forests and stop for a snack in wine country. This bucket-list highway travels the Pacific coast for over 650 miles. There are many towns along the route where you can stop and swim. Elephant Seal Rookery has over 15,000 elephant seals to stop and view. This highway is one you could enjoy for weeks. Be sure to take plenty of breaks to catch the sound of the waves, too.

Going-to-the-Sun Road in Montana

Glacier National Park is known for its wondrous mountains and show-stopping views. You'll be treated to many moments of pleasure if you travel the Going-to-the-Sun Road inside the park. This is a 50-mile stretch, but you'll experience unparalleled scenery that will be a feast for the eyes. There are plenty of places to stop and enjoy the exquisite silence of a country completely inhabited by wildlife, and you may see some, too. Due to the snow, this road is only open from late spring to early fall, so plan ahead!

Arches National Park in Utah

If you are looking to be awed by the sheer power of the wind, water, and time, as well as experience the amazing colors that nature affords, then Arches National Park is for you. Located in the heart of the American West, the natural arches that the wind and water have forged over thousands of years will have you completely speechless. You can take hikes to stand beneath some and see layers of the earth that are millions of years old. Arches National Park is, in short, Mother Nature at her finest.

San Juan Mountain Skyway in Colorado

Leave it to the Rocky Mountains to offer some of the best scenery from Mother Nature. If you are looking for beauty and history, the San Juan Mountain Skyway in Colorado may be it. This stretch of highway is not for the feign of heart; it stretches for 236 miles with many twists and turns that can leave you carsick. You'll see some of Colorado's tallest peaks, pine forests galore, and scintillating rivers. You'll also see abandoned mines and old railroads that helped fuel this nation's growth as Colorado was a hotbed for silver in the 1800s. If you stop frequently to enjoy the views, plan ahead for a place to stay along the way.
