Some roads are best experienced on two wheels. You want beautiful scenery, twisty turns, and a smooth ride. Here is a bucket list of five roads in the western U.S. that you absolutely have to ride.
1. Route 66
A classic, Route 66 takes you 2,200 miles across the country from Chicago to Santa Monica in one long stretch that’s filled with great stops. You can even join a Route 66 guided motorcycle tour if you want to make sure and hit all the best stops with a group of bikers to enjoy the scene with you. You’ll hit stops in legendary, iconic American locations in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and California. Route 66 is a famous Western frontier road with first-rate hotels, restaurants, and landmarks along the way.

2. Pacific Coast Highway
This favorite biker’s destination stays primarily along the West Coast but still covers 1,700 miles from Oregon to San Juan Capistrano. The road is varied and the scenery is unrivaled. You will see majestic redwood forests, beaches, cliffs, scenic towns, and some of the best tourist destinations along the west coast. Make sure you spend some time in the Olympic Peninsula, Seattle, the Big Sur, Malibu, and San Diego.
3. Beartooth Highway in Yellowstone
Significantly shorter but just as scenic, the Beartooth Highway in Yellowstone, Wyoming, covers 68 miles of this unique national park. See glacier peaks, geysers (including Old Faithful), waterfalls, hot springs, and other one-of-a-kind sights in the highest-elevated highway in the region. And because it only takes a couple of hours, you can combine this trip with another one.
