Where's Your Favorite Place To Drive In The Northwest?

[S-L]

Where's your favorite place to drive in the Northwest? Have any photos? 

Description of the place, a photo, and where you live and/or reside in the NW, will all be good!

 

(Simply a topic to share the best locations/places for beautiful scenery & awesome places to drive your '02, and also to share a little about yourself with others!  )

 

P.S. I'll start off the theme or subject, with some nice shots of some beautiful spots around the NW... now it's your turn!

East Mercer Way is fun for a short drive, same with the road out to Fall City from Issaquah. I do like the St. Helens roads, minus how damn rough they are... Down here in Oregon you can't beat a Mary's Peak/Alsea falls loop.

I'm in Hood River and I think we have the best roads!  I do a lot of road biking and sport bike riding here, we have a '94 Miata with suspension mods, and I'll have my M20 '02 any day now.  I ride or drive the Rowena curves all the time.  Other favorite routes are around Lost Lake and Cooper Spur on Mt. Hood, The Klickitat canyon out of Lyle, WA, and the Condon/Fossil/Antelope/Shaniko/Maupin route, either as a loop or out and back.  I'd like to do some more fast tours around St. Helens, Adams, and Rainier this year, preferably when there's no other traffic.  I do a lot of bike racing photography and I'd love to get some photos of our cars in action.

Old Schoolhouse near Dufur, OR, last Sunday.  Lots of great paved canyon roads out here.

Oregon wine country. Between Yamhill and Lane County, throughout the Willamette Valley, you'll find some of the best secondary driving roads in the world. hit me up if you want route suggestions. I know the roads well.

Grew up outside of Newberg Or. Hard to beat Hwy 219 over the mountain between Newberg and Scholls. A friend commutes that in a Z4
