Beartooth Highway is pretty spectacular.

Runs generally from Red Lodge MT, through Cooke City, and into the NE corner of Yellowstone.

To add another,”not” close to the house....Red Mountain Pass, Silverton to Ouray, Colorado! memtb

M28 west from the Soo to Marquette. US41 from Houghton to Copper Harbor.

the road to the beer store

Closer to my home, US 395 in California has hundreds of miles of beauty.

Beartooth Hwy MT/WY

I'll vote for "Going-to-the-Sun" highway in Glacier National Park (MT). I worked in Glacier in the summers of 1960-61 and regularly drove the road over Logan Pass. I've been back several times and the beauty never escapes me.

Wabigoon: One of my favorite drives here in Montana is the long loop drive starting in Dillon, Montana travelling west to Jackson, Montana then northerly to Wisdom, Montana then easterly to Wise River, Montana and Divide then southerly through Glen, Montana and eventually back to Dillon, Montana - thus encircling the entire Pioneer Mountain Range of the Rocky Mountains!
Took this 130 mile drive just yesterday in fact with the VarmintWife and our houseguests from out of state - they were mesmerized by the beauty of this drive and the abundance of wildlife seen (Mule Deer, Whitetailed Deer, Antelope, huge herds of Elk, Coyotes a Moose, Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Ground Squirrels, Hawks galore and numerous flocks of waterfowl!).
This scenic drive also had breathtaking views of the Anaconda Range, Bitterroot Range and the Highland Ranges of mountains plus the stunning Bighole Valley itself!
Then we drove through the steep canyon of the Bighole River.
Pictures taken galore and a very relaxing drive which took us over two high mountain passes with elevations of 7,400' and 6,760'!

The drive from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Wyoming is THE BEST.

The same drive in reverse SUCKS.

Seriously tho son & I did the Beartooth this past October and it was AMAZING!

Home from work!

US 101 along the coast from Florence to Lincoln City, Oregon, is a beautiful drive.

Another is SR 92 from Highland, Utah to American Fork Canyon up and over the Alpine Loop into Provo Canyon. Fall colors as pretty as anything you'll ever see.

Highway 306, from Buena Vista, CO, to Taylor Park- view from the top of Cottonwood Pass. Taylor Park is becoming the 'Moab of the Rockies'.

Hwy 1 between ely and north shore was always a nice motorcycle road. I haven't been on it for over 6 yrs now though so I don't know if they've "ruined it" or not?

Richardson Highway to Valdez, Alaska. Spectacular glaciers and snow capped mountains.

Honorable mention to the unpaved Denali Highway.

I like driving down the Lochsa.

Hwy 88 and Hwy 4 out of the Valley upto and including 395.

I can feel the slimy stink urbanity fall away the further up into the high country I get.

Fellow Kommiefornians know what Im talking about.
