Good one! I have driven it via car and would have loved to do it on a bike.

CO-550, from Durago to Montrose - The most scenic chunk of road I've ever been on.

Did it in the car before I learned how to ride. I would love to go back, spend time again in Mesa Verde, then loop through Durago, Montrose, and Gunnison, then back home. I'd have to take the time to ride the train from Silverton down to Durango and back...

Mulholland Highway, not Mulholland Drive. Back in the fifties and sixties when Mulholland Drive was not inundated with houses, the road would have made a heck of a twisty, but nowadays, you'll get your ass ran over by drunken Hollywood stars and rich hoity toities.

And yes, GMR/GRR/Mount Baldy/Azusa Canyon combo is a great runm, as is Rim of the World in the summer when the snow melted.

I used to live literally 2 miles from where GMR started and would cruise that over to Azuza canyon every week in my Camaro.
