There have been many posts on this forum about various driving tours, describing routes, places to stay and places to visit on the way. But what are the best bits of road you've driven on for the pure enjoyment of being on that road?
I'd find it difficult to put any sort of preference to my selection, so here in no particular order (other than when I first experienced them) are some of the roads I've gained most driving pleasure from:
I'd find it difficult to put any sort of preference to my selection, so here in no particular order (other than when I first experienced them) are some of the roads I've gained most driving pleasure from:
- California's Highway 1 from San Francisco down to LA (best in that direction because you're on the Ocean side of the road so better views)
- The Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia (great to drive but you have to stop in some places for the best views)
- The Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Banff in the Canadian Rockies (both directions are jaw dropping)
- The Sea to Sky Highway (Route 99) from Vancouver to Whistler in British Columbia, Canada (resurfaced for the 2010 Winter Olympics so super smooth now)
- Stelvio Pass in the Italian Alps (best just after it's opened in late spring because less traffic and still amazing snow-covered views)
