Scenic drives and motorcycle rides in the warm US states

California and Hawaii

Angeles Crest Highway and Mulholland Highway in California, and the Hana Highway in Hawaii, each have their own guide. The California and Hawaii overviews rank the twistiest roads in each state.

The South and Southwest

State overviews for Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina list the twistiest paved roads in each, with distances, ride times and loop ideas.

By car, 4WD or motorcycle

These are public roads, so they make scenic drives as much as rides. Pick motorcycle, car or 4WD in your garage and routing follows it, with a setting for how much gravel a route may include. For longer trips, see the 4WD trip planner and the camping checklist below.

Before you go

Check road conditions before you ride, especially in the mountains, where roads can close.
Download the offline map for your route before you leave. Mobile signal can drop out away from the towns.
Choose curvy routing and add the roads you want as waypoints; the app joins them into one route.
