Great Drives of the Blue Ridge Mountains
 
Starting in Greenville, SC:

Head for Altamont road Northbound (Paris Mountain) then ...
Old US 25 thru North saluda reservoir to Saluda then ...
176 to Tryon then ....
Up to Hickory Nut Gap (US 74) to Ashville then ...
Blue Ridge Parkway heading West then ...
Exit onto 276 South thru Pisgah Forest towards Brevard then ....
Continue south on 276 over Ceasars Head Mountain then ...
Retrace Altamont road southbound this time then ...

Put your car away driven hard and dripping wet.


Looking at close to 6 hours of outstanding driving.

Lot of fun roads in the foothills, to the N and S of US 50 W of Sacto.

There are some pretty good roads right around where James Dean died too. My mid-engine 4 cylinder Porsche is nice and orange, easy to spot.

Well, never met a curvy road that didn't like a Porsche, but living near the Santa Monica mountains that's my usual drive. The whole Mulholland area, but Highway 23 (Westlake Blvd/Decker Cyn) is my fav.

I love Decker Canyon - and they repaved it about a month ago (very sticky!).
I like anything up above Malibu or in the Angeles National Forest and discovered Tuna Canyon a couple of months ago. It's one-way all the way down to Pacific Coast Highway.
You can't go fast, but it's twisty and very peaceful.

Tuna Canyon video that I shot (had to compress the crap out of it to fit under the 100Mb YouTube limit :().

Yup. Can't wait.

We don't have any good roads in the PNW. None.

In fact, we have the worst drivers in the country here. Soccer Moms, road-ragers, left hand lane campers, WSP do nothing except write tickets to Porsche owners. Really.

Now, go away. Nothing to see here.

That little back road you took me on that made Scott puke was a good one too. Although only good early in the morning on a Sunday. :D

107 is a great road and I cry anytime I drive it and I am in anything other than the Pcar. Like when I drive the FJ.

There are so many mountain road in this are of North Carolina, all of them are fun. Every single one.

Three minutes from downtown Spokane & right outside my office. Too bad I have to take it to work every day - oh, well.
