Impossible to pick just one. Like mentioned Yellowstone, Beartooth and Chief Joseph Hwy., Glacier National Park, the most awe inspiring place I've ever seen! The Million Dollar Hwy. in Colorado a road that absolutely is above expectations, so good they should charge you to ride it! Anywhere out west Utah, Arizona, New Mexico. The Four Corners, Monument Valley. The northeast.....if you've never done Laconia do it! The oldest bike rally in the nation, just celebrated it's 90th anniversary. Beautiful riding up there and to and from ain't bad either. The Smokeys, Deals Gap, Maggie Valley, the Blue Ridge, bank for buck, fun per mile can't be beat. You can't make a wrong turn on a bike there, each road better then the last. I can't leave out my stomping ground Kentucky. The Bourbon Trail, Horse Country and on and on.

I guess the best answer was the first answer you got....my favorite ride is my next ride!

....and yeah I've been to all these places 58k miles later the last 2 1/2 years on my Road Glide

Have to agree, Utah is awesome. Clean roads that are second to none.
Also Hwy 141 Colorado from Whitewater to Naturita.
My wife and I rode from Toronto for a Grand Canyon trip.
Don't miss Zion and Bryce Canyons.
Of course the best roads in Ontario are in Pennsylvania!

Just ride!

I've been on many memorable road trips but the one that stands out for us was riding from L.A. to North Carolina and back on mostly back roads. The only interstate we did was leaving L.A. and into Arizona.
Exploring with a cheap map and nothing but time to ride....outstanding.

Oh wow so many great places. I've been to Utah and loved it, wait I've been to Utah but not on a bike so I'm not sure that counts. Thanks for all the great input.

Through the Redwoods, by the Russian River, from Sonoma California to the Pacific Ocean at Jenner, with some slight diversions. Can't be beat on a nice day. The beauty, and the smell of the Redwoods and the other gorgeous scenery is amazing. On way back go thru wine country and over the Golden Gate Bridge. try to avoid rush hour!

+100, except you left out the left coast - the PCH, 49 through the gold country, Yosemite, The CA mountain passes, 88,89,4,108, 120. 36 from the coast to Lassen National Park, 101 through the redwoods. The loop around Lake Tahoe, Crater Lake.

Ridden all the above except the Million Dollar Highway, and that's planned for next summer, my next favorite ride.

Ain't this f'n Country Great!

This year we rode from Ridgecrest Cali to Tampa FL, the scenic route lol

We took in all the above, plus, Valley of Fire, Lake Powell, Glen Canyon, Monument Valley, 4 Corners, Million Dollar Hwy, Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Bishops Castle, Talimena Scenic Hwy, Memphis (Gracelands), Nashville( met and drank with great Steve 'The Colonel' Cropper in BB Kings, check out Wikipedia if you dont know who he is), Rattler, Dragon and Moonshine 28, absolutely amazing trip.

But UTAH blew our mind, every corner was a real opener, want to go back and do it all again
