Just got back from a great 9 day trip through the mountains etc in the US. Lots of great roads (and a few rutted goat paths) and breathtaking scenery! There was between 5 - 7 hours of ride time each day with water/stretch breaks every hour or so (and lunch of course!) Started out at 9 am each day and quit around 4 pm most days. Stayed in some great hotels too!

You can see the route here... Show on Google Maps

From Hinton WV, some of the guys in the group took quite a roundabout route through the Hungry Mother State Park... and they just raved about it - they all said it was better than the Dragon's Tail!!! Here is that route (zoom in to see the road through Hungry Mother - wow!) - Show on Google Maps

Day 1 - Corning NY
Day 2 - Selinsgrove PA
Day 3 - Hagerstown MD
Day 4 - Morgantown WV
Day 5 - Hinton WV
Day 6 - Beckley WV
Day 7 - Harrisonburg VA

How did you like 16 from Marion to Tazewell? It looks like you didn't continue on 16 all the way north. It is really awesome pretty much all the way up. Try some roads in SE Ohio....555.. 536....147.....260...26 ect,ect...ect...
 
Krap! I'm Jealous

Sounds like a trip everyone wants to do, thanks for the links.

Coming home from the BRP and Deals Gap 2 weeks ago - we also took 16 north from Marion. Amazing road, almost as good as "the dragon" if it were not for the gravel spilled onto a few of the corners.
