Road trip

[MRX330]

I am planning on traveling from Minnesota to Washington state and back in the fall before snow flies. I am starting to map out a route which heads due west through the upper mid and western states and then come back down to the northern rim of the Grand Canyon and back to Minnesota. If you know of any must drive roads in these areas let me know. I’m making a photo journal of this as well.

A site that I'm top contributor for is www.motorcycleroads.com

Obviously, I use this for my motorcycle riding, but it serves well as a twisty loving car road as well.

long ago I used to use a site called pashnit.com that had some great roads as well as information about them; primarily for bikes, you can still have fun so long as you don't hold up all the bike traffic. A lot of the roads are popular for the *lack* of cars.

I used to ride so those are really what I’m looking for. Thank you

Not much to be had for twisty bits in ND but the loop through Teddy Roosevelt NP is totally worth it. Its a slow road and there are park rangers out there so 6/10 is about all you will get out of it before feeling like an asshole. The scenery is amazing though. Right off 94 and you can do the loop in a couple hours.

There is fun to be had in Montana I am told but I have never really been besides ripping 94 to Seattle.

I’ll take that into consideration, thanks.

I can’t thank you enough for the web link. You saved me so much leg work for planning out a route. 👌

So my destination will be Pikes Peak and out to Puget Sound before I turn towards the Utah side of the Grand Canyon.

It looks like there are some nice roads around Mt St Helens and I want to see Mt Rainier

I did go through southern Montana a while back but there are definitely some scenic twistys up in the range

My pleasure. The owner of the site is upgrading it further, and should be done by the end of the year, I think. I love it there.

So looking at the schedule for the trip in early October, I’m facing somewhat of a dilemma. Going to Pikes Peak and then some other mountain ranges in Montana and Washington I may encounter some weather and/or roads that may be better suited for all seasons instead of the ZIII’s. I’m a little stumped on what to run.

I have four wheeled motorcycle

Go to Glacier and hit up the Going to the sun road...truly epic!

 

[MRX330]

I really hate to give up the ultra grip of the ZIII’s but I may pop on some AS/3+’s on the 17x8 Grids so I can handle any weather surprises. I have a set on 17x7.5 Titans but the section width is 8.4 so I am not worried

Glacier National Park?

 

[TyphoonFiST]

Yeap....Probably one of the most Scenic National parks I've ever been too. Its so scenic that I have a computer Screen saver on my computer at work and the people ask where I found the photo....I reply I took it at Logans pass in Glacier National Park! They all say ...No way! Then I show them my Phone album!

Where the hell is it? Are you going to make me look it up man?
