Rocky Mountain National Park is an awesome drive in a roadster. My trip across the Rockies in an MGB roadster was one of the most enjoyable trip of my life. Nothing to obstruct your view of those majestic mountains.

Very nice ride indeed! Did it in my 4x4, but it was fall and cold

My favorite area is Estes Park. Nestled in the valley at the eastern entrance to Rocky Mountain NP. I've probably been there 15 times on vacation in my 61 years. Always fun and relaxing.
Living in the PNW, I like to hit Highway 101, and loop around the Olympic National Forest! Lots of moutainous roads, sharp turns, cliffs, and beautiful scenery and beeches to cap off the drive. Just plain gorgeous!

I love the PNW, and am looking forward to one day driving that stretch of 101 you mentioned...
My husband and I drove 101 North from L.A. to San Francisco a couple of years ago, and I loved Big Sur... (it still didn't compare to 550, in my eyes, though!) But, I can't wait to pick up where we left off, and head North from San Fran, up as far as it goes!
there's something about the Northwest........ man 0 man....
Pike's Peak highway. Until they recently paved the top end. What were they thinking? We happened to travel to Colorado wit htwo of the kids one summer and "happened" to be halfway up the course when the annual July 4 Race to the Clouds began. We "had' to park the car and watch the entire race. Neatest thing was the two all-electric cars that went by almost silently at over 85mph. There was a little bit of every type of motor vehicle on the course, including Indy cars and Freightliners.

Yeah, I'm a californian originally, lived there till I was 9, then moved up here. I'm 24 now, but man, I've just loved this area. It has a little of everything! Warm here by the Columbia, and Puget Sound is a unique body of water, I love riding on my friend's boat, or on a ferry to Victoria BC, or even between Seattle and Everett. The only thing I wish would happen is that the "Sophisticates" would stop buying the monster SUV's that they don't utilize even 5% of. It seems like everytime I pass through seattle, I'm almost run over by somebody talking on their cell and sipping on their starbucks coffee all the while working on their eyeliner (no joke). Thats hasn't stopped me from owning fun sporting little cars, and thats why I'm going to get me a solstice in about 2 yrs, or 1.5yrs. But once you get away from the metropolitan areas, Washington and Oregon are just Plain Beautiful.

Agree with the BRP as not only a great roadster friendly road with lots of twisties, but also beautiful from a scenic perspective.
The Pacific Coast Hwy for LA to the SFO area is a close 2nd - IMHO.
