OR Oregon Driving Roads

Does anyone have any spots they really enjoy driving? For me it's Skyline and other roads in the west hills of Portland but I'm looking for other great spots to visit in Oregon or Washington

marys peak, up hwy 22 east of sweet home, the best place in oregon is just east of ashland (one hell of a drive down, but worth it).. It heads up the mountains and is nothing but sideback 15-25mph curves that drop and slope like it was built on purpose for racing on. Is a nice, well kept road, and is the scariest ride in oregon for sure!

or "picture gourge" near dayville. Go through it then take the road towards spray..... Fun stuff there, its about 40 miles of intense roads, strights, curves, sidebacks, tons of great road... Second best in oregon i think...

West side: Old skyline is a pretty sweet road, you can also check out laurelwood rd, and this little section of timber rd. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...07699&t=h&z=14) was nice. I've been itching to get out east and do the Glenwood hwy grade (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...15398&t=h&z=13) also the Lyle grade (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...07699&t=h&z=14) and there's marryhill (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...38495&t=h&z=15)

HWY 112 From Port Angeles to Neah Bay, 70 miles of windy roads that travel along the straight of Juan De Fuca so don't lose control or else you're going in the drink... BUT, they are some of my favorite roads so far in Washington. I drove them for 3 1/2 years while stationed at the Coast Guard Station up there and miss them more than anything! Now i drive in a straight line to work... BORING!

Ill double up on HW 22, I live in Sweet Home, and went for a cruise today, the road is great, just hold off until the off season/avoid driving it around holidays, lots of RV's on HW20, but otherwise great drive.

the road around hagg lake is a fun twisty road, but the upkeep is junk, so make sure your batterys tied down, and wheels are on tight.
