My favorite stretch of road is the Enchanted Circle. It circles from Las Vegas, New Mexico to Taos, Espanola, Santa Fe and back to Las Vegas. Elevations from 6,500 to 9,465 feet. Lots of vistas and curves.

FM337 in the Texas Hill Country is fun.

Re:Your Favorite Stretch of Road. 4 Years ago  
I just rode FM 337 this past weekend, it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed 1340 into Hunt, criss-crossing the guadalupe. The entire central Texas area is good.

Some of the funnest roads over the last few year were around "the Dragon" in Tennessee and North Carolina.

Highway 64 from Four Corners,NM to Clayton , NM. It spans the whole state of New Mexico across the north, covers, mountains, plains, rivers, canyons, pretty much everything. Straight and curvy, up and down. Just don't go past Clayton.....you are then in texas!

I especially enjoy A1A from Ormond by the Sea to Flagler Beach. One of the few spots around here where there are no buildings between the road and the beach.

Re:Your Favorite Stretch of Road. 4 Years ago  
These are my two favorites:

1. Wickenburg, AZ to Flagstaff, AZ via AZ89 and AZ89A (through Jerome and Sedona (both very nice)). Detour in Sedona and ride locally for a bit to see the red rock, get back on 89A and ride through Oak Creek Canyon (sweet). Jump up US180 and continue on to the Grand Canyon, for the biggest hole in the world! One of those things you have to see with your eyes and pictures just don't cut it. What a therapeutic beautiful ride!

2. AZ 191 from Alpine, AZ to Clifton, AZ (Coronado Trail used to be devil's highway, used to be US666 till they renumbered it for obvious reasons). 95 miles, more twisties than you can count; some say about 1100. What a ride! If you go, stop off at Morenci mine (copper) overlook, unbelievable, what a hole in the ground.
