17 Mile Drive in Carmel, CA is pretty awesome. I'm sure there are some other great drives but that is my favorite that I have been on.

Icefields parkway from Lake Louise, Alberta to Jasper was a breathtaking drive. probably number one on my list followed by the Oregon 101 from Astoria to pacific city. Wish we could have gone further south on the 101 but didn't have the time.

next one up on the bucket list is Big Sur along the California coast.

In a state were I could name 7 or 8, Utah Highway 12 is near the top of the list.









The Crown Range Road in NZ is also up there.

17 mile drive in Carmel and Going to the sun road in glacier national park were both pretty incredible. Hwy 1 to Big Sur and the road into Yosemite are also very scenic.

Made the drive from BR to Elko Nevada a few years back. Can't remember the exact roads but there were alot of "scenic" roads. Went out on the salt flats was cool experience but Utah was by far the nicest state I've drove. Would love to go back

I’ve always like the stretch of Hwy. 90 from N.O. East to Mississippi.

...but I’m easy to please.

1. Million Dollar Highway (US 550)
2. Beartooth Highway (US Rt 212)
3. Going to the Sun Road (Glacier NP)

That's the 3 best in order that I've covered so far. Not sure about what's remaining on my bucket list, haven't put much thought into it lately.

The Autobahn is basically the interstate. It is just about as exciting as driving on I-10. Parts are more scenic than I-10 between Lafayette and Lake Charles, parts are not.

We drove Hwy 95 in Utah last week. It was 120 miles of constantly changing incredible terrain. There were no power lines, no homes, a couple of bridges and a few cars. It also crosses the Colorado River, only one of 5 river crossings in 750 miles.

Second for Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. Highest paved Road in North America, with a gift shop and small hike near the top.

If you are headed up to the East Coast somewhere, the Blue Ridge parkway is stunning, especially in the fall

I was close to the Blue Ridge Parkway a few weeks ago but my three year old was having none of it. I’ll add The Pig Trail and The Arkansas Dragon. Both fantastic roads in Arkansas through the Ozarks.

Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Almost doesn't seem real.

I thought the highest paved road was Mt. Evans, also in Colorado.

17 Mile Drive
Pacific Coast Hwy from SF to LA (Big Sur is best stretch)
Drive into Yosemite
Drive from Sequoia to Kings Canyon

I’ve done all these in the last year and a half, all are beautiful.

Going to the sun by far the best
CA hwy 1 from San Fran to Monterey
FL hwy 1 Overseas Hwy from Islamorada to Key West.

All are totally different and totally breathtaking just the same.
