[QUOTE="DaNav, post: 676641, member: 19441"] Ditto what others have said about coming to California in September, right after Labor Day. Find a bike in LA or SF on Craigslist and ride Hwy 1 north along the coast. Can't comment about Oregon or Washington because I haven't been there in a long time, but I'm sure Hwy 1 and the Cascade mountains would be quite nice in those parts. Back in California, Hwy 36, 299, 96 and 3 in the northern part of the state (Trinity Alps) would be great. Ride over to Mt Shasta and then south, crisscrossing the Sierras all the way through Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park, making sure, as mentioned earlier, to ride the Sierra Passes. then further south to Death Valley and over to the Grand Canyon and up into Utah where there are some splendid national parks (Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, etc.). Continue east, spend some time in the Rockies and end your trip in Denver. Other than Las Vegas - a true slice of Americana - and, arguably San Francisco, the best parts of the US are the natural wonders. This book by Clement Salvadori can help with your planning. Others on the same website will be helpful as well...
