Wow, that really got me to thinking about some of the roads I've driven.
Just in Colorado:
US 34/Trail Ridge Rd from Estes Park to Grand Lake. Add to that the Peak to Peak Highway from Estes Park to Black Hawk/Central City and you've got a wonderful drive.
US 285 from Denver to the San Luis Valley, with a branching off in Buena Vista for a trip to Taylor Park and Leadville. About as diverse terrain as you'll find in Colorado, from canyons to mountains to high passes to open parks to high desert.
Million Dollar Highway, speaks for itself. Best done without a trailer or motor home.
Outside of Colorado:
Wyoming 130 from Laramie through Centennial to Saratoga. Wilderness without all the people, some great boondock camping areas. Sugar Loaf CG has breathtaking vistas.
Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Did that way back when I was in my 20s and it's still one of the most memorable drives there is.
In Michigan, MI 26 from Houghton to Copper Harbor and the area around Copper Harbor.
Those are just a few that come to mind.
