On a previous Thread, the NC/TN Dragons trail was on a must drive list for the Corvette owner. Although I have driven the CA 101 and FL A1A in other vehicles, these are mine for my Vette because I am a ocean guy. What are yours?

 

Why wait to make the dream drives - I love clear freeway on ramps.

 

Someday I'd like to drive Route 66 the entire distance, but meanwhile there are plenty of twisty back roads around here to have fun on.

 

Jack where? What roads get your excitement when you drive them?

 

Heading to the Black Hills SD this summer. Some great roads there.

 

PCH 101 is an great drive. If you go there stop by Neptune's net great food.. Oh and you might wanna look up Stunt road. It's a blast to drive

 

Lyons, CO
Up to Estes Park
Over Trailridge Road to Grand lake (It's the highest continuous paved road in the United States, reaching an elevation of 12,183 feet.)
Down to Winter Park
Over to BlackHawk
Back into Boulder,CO

A true Canyon Carving course..

 

M22 on northern MI is a nice drive. Follows along the west arm of the Grand Traverse Bay. Never done it in the Vette, but have every summer for the past 10 or so in family cars.

 

I live at the start of this route, and there are many more awesome canyon carving routes around here. My Corvette knows the northern front range very well!

 

Great thread!

Sunrise Highway / Pacific Crest Trail near Mt Laguna, CA

 

My wife and I have this on our bucket list. We did the Texas portion of route 66 in another vehicle and had a blast. It would have been much more fun in the Vette. There were quite a bit of photo ops we were able to take through the small Texas towns. Nothing would be cooler than to start in Chicago and drive all the way to the Santa Monica Pier in California.

 

Be sure to drive
Needles Highway
Iron Mountain Road
Nemo Road and
Spearfish Canyon.

 

If your ever in SE Ohio you have to drive "The Triple Nickel" SR-555 and Rim of the World/l, rt-78. The whole hocking hills area is great as well.

"Route 555 could be one of the best rides in the country if the state were to fix it up. It starts just south of Zanesville and ends in Little Hocking on the West Virginia border. If you ride all of triple nickel it’s about 60 miles. Route 555 is consists of non stop sweepers and sharp twisties going up and down steep hills that just keep coming at you. You also have a lot of blind turns and ascents so you need to stay alert the entire ride. While riding 555 the scenery changes from homes and farmland to forests. Also make sure you have a full tank of gas and a cell phone. There are very few places to stop during the ride. The road conditions can vary from good pavement to broken pot holes with lots of gravel. Overall this is a great ride that will leave you feeling excited, tired, and accomplished."

If they would fix rt 536 (The Ohio Cousin of the "Tail of the Dragon")I would recommend it, the surface is really bad, cant go too fast but man its wild.

"Route 536 is 11 miles of non stop thrilling twisties that will keep you leaning your bike in and out of turns the entire ride. Route 536 is only 11 miles long but has over 110 turns in those 11 miles that equates to one exciting ride. As you pick up Route 536 in Hannibal just off route 7 you quickly ascend up a steep while navigating twists and turns. When you reach the top the road continues to throw sharp twisties, switchbacks, and sweepers at you. For most of the ride you are surrounded by farmland, forests, fields, and steep drop offs. The road conditions on Route 536 were excellent when I rode it. It had recently been repaved and was perfectly smooth. I don’t remember any gravel, broken pavement, or impediments of any kind the entire ride. As get closer to Round Bottom you begin you descent while still navigating some sharp turns. Overall this ride reminded me of Deals Gap in Tennessee. If you aren’t familiar with Deals Gap it is a road located in the Smoky Mountains that has over 300 turns in 11 miles. Like Deals Gap Route 536 delivers great scenery, perfect pavement, and non stop twisties."

The road out to Copper Harbor and back through Eagle River in Michigan's upper peninsula is fantastic. Also the drive from Flagstaff down into Sedona canyon in Arizona is another great drive. Both are not only very scenic, but very fun to drive, although lowered vehicles do have problems on the Copper Harbor road.

We drove both in the Miata that we traded in on our C5.

A coupe here in MT. Cooke City highway into Yellowstone and Going to the Sun in Glacier. You did meen with the top down didn't you?

 

I second this. Amazing scenery, ocean breeze in the hair.... What's not to love.
Going through salt river canyon in Arizona and oak creek canyon near Sedona are also favorites. I Have also enjoyed the back way to Salt Lake City from Phoenix through Jacobs Lake. Incredibly pretty scenery.

 

Every 5 years there's the Corvette Caravan to Bowling Green KY (next one is 2019). While the actual route may not be the most interesting, the parade of Corvettes and end destination makes up for it. Did Caravan '14 to Bowling Green and a portion of Route 66 on the way back

 

For people in the N.E.
"Named by National Geographic as "One of America's most scenic drives", US Route 6 in Pennsylvania is the heart of the American Dream. This magical and tranquil highway along Pennsylvania's northern tier is 400 plus miles of history and heritage, linking small towns, generations of people and wondrous sights often forgotten."

 

Didn't have a Corvette then but Trailridge Road is a great drive.

I also enjoyed the drive up Mt. Evans.

 

Yes, that's the plan.
