From epic climbs with scenic overlooks to rail trails through charming towns and desert treks past sandstone giants, North America is home to some of the most diverse landscapes for cycling. Whether your preference is thrilling alpine vistas with harrowing hairpin turns or quiet country roads filled with wildflower fields, this list of the top 20 most memorable bike routes in the U.S. has something for everyone.
My personal favorites that Matt and I will be putting on our cycling bucket list include: Crater Lake Road in Oregon, Denali Park Road in Alaska, Going To The Sun Road in Montana, Cadillac Challenge Loop in Maine, and Cherohala Skyway in Tennessee.
