I love Country roads because they take me home to the place I belong.
WEST VIRGINIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
West Jamaica!

🤦♂️😘🤌👏👏👏
We live in Durango. My favorite drive is Durango to Delores to Telluride, across to Ridgeway, down to Ouray, through Silverton and back home to Durango. Those mountain passes are something special when it gets to be fall and the Aspens are in full color.
You are correct! Beautiful drive! Ouray is my favorite town in the country (especially in the spring), but the whole area is fantastic!
Hooray.
Lived there for 6 years and did that route with my motorcycle several times. Wildcat was my favorite for a short ride but honestly I enjoyed the Navajo loop more than anything close.
2021-“We found the perfect deserted road in the middle of nowhere”
2022- “so many of y’all have come out to this perfect deserted road in the middle of nowhere but now it’s so crowded you can’t drive fast and when you do there are 200 cops out there“
If Clarkson, Hammond, and May couldn't get people there, Ed, hoodie and tavarish aren't going to be able to.
It will be empty for some time. You have to want to go there. It's in the middle of freaking nowhere.
(It's also pretty amazing, haha. We did it in 2018 after the grand tour was there.)
Mrs Orcutts driveway?
You just gave it the kiss of death, it’s going to be crowded now that you have given it five stars ⭐️.
I did it in the early 2000’s in a one ton dually diesel pickup truck, had no idea what it was going to be like, I was just trying to get from A to B.
I'm
Nobody goes there anymore, it’s too crowded. 😜
Only to Vinwiki Car story watchers.
@@davidkuhn3970 that would be 1.47 Million car enthusiasts. 😳
Whoa 😮. Didn’t think that many.
The Coronado trail US-191 Alpine to Morenci, AZ and Beartooth Highway Cook City to Red Lodge from the east entrance of Yellowstone are my two favorites.
10/10 recommend Alpine to Morenci. It is in the middle of nowhere but worth the trip if you are in the area.
Beartooth, at least imo, isn't really a driving road. It's a scenic road. Awesome, yeah, but I would be pretty scared to push it in some spots. But yeah, awesome road.
@@herranton I've pushed it on Beartooth, you're not wrong, it can be sketchy. Fun! But sketchy sometimes.
I learned the hard way not to fly down the Beartooth’s northern hairpins…with my girlfriend…in her car…at night. She, the car, and I all survived, but it wasn’t some of my best thinking.
Fast forward a few years and I did it again with my car. Much more fun.
Beartooth is amazing
The Cherohala Skyway: it feels very similar to the Richard Russell Scenic Hwy in North GA but it's much longer and has more scenic overlooks. Also, NC 28 can be fun between Franklin and Bryson City.
I don’t understand the fuss about Richard Russell. It’s ok, but plenty of other roads right there that are better. Cherohala is great, but I’ve been over it so many times that it’s lost the romance.
I drove these roads this summer. They are amazing!
So true, I need people not know about Cherohala because it’s just so awesome
Maybe do an overland style cartrek for season 6... would love to see how you handle a dirt road in something with more than 3" of clearance and maybe even 4 wheel drive. I know it's not your usual style but there's so many more awesome roads if ya find the ones that aren't paved.
All in Suzuki Samurai’s or Geo Trackers😂
Someone's gonna own a G Wagon in that series.
Tyler has a G wagon@@cs1375
ONLY HAVE ONE CAR FOR LIFE ?
Picking up a M-B SLK 55 AMG next week in Phoenix, and now I've got to do both 141 and 550 in Colorado ... Woe is me!!! Thanks Ed!
My favorite road to drive/ride is Push Mountain Rd (Hwy 341) in AR. Technical turns, long straights for passing and almost no traffic. You can also double back on Hwy. 14 for additional fun.
Love the content. Gotta try that road someday!
I'm in that area and have been planning to male a run through there. I enjoy the Jasper area to. There's some fun curvy roads up there.
The Beartooth Pass between Red Lodge and Cooke City Montana is my favorite. If you go in June, you’ll have 20-30ft walls of snow pack on either side of the road in one section. It has switchbacks, sweeping curves, 11,000+ft elevation, lakes, mountains, amazing views.
This ^^^
Here's what it looks like in late summer ua-cam.com/video/7hRz178-qo4/v-deo.html
ed! you should have the guy who drove his Ferrari 308 all over Alaska tell his story (now he's in Alberta Canada)
The roads up here a shitty and filled with construction every summer 😂, but they are fun scenic drives non the less
The "Silver State Classic" was one of the finest high speed roads I've been on, especially through the canyons near the end in a Unlimited Class Guldstrand built C-4 Vette on IMSA rain tires, a great time!
@anonymous I was there in 1990 & '91 with Guldstrand Engineering & our 1985 Vette with a 406 Lingenfelter motor to run up to 219 mph.
@anonymous Best of luck with your ride my friend, sounds like a good time.
ONLY HAVE ONE CAR FOR LIFE ?
I've been an @vinwiki fan for a long time but also being an avid gearhead and driver and living in Colorado my whole life it pains me to see these secret places being made so public. Please be responsible and keep our west wild.
Since I'm in Utah, it's nice to hear your praise about this road. I'll have to check it out sometime.
Stop and check out the hanging waterway. That is one of the most interesting part of the history of the area
My Lotus Esprit might need to take a trip... I’m also in SLC. :)
If anyone out here ever has some time, give the million dollar highway a shot, very beautiful yet Technical road.
Also going from Denver to grand junction there's some badass roads if you hop off 70
One of the best runs other than this one in that area is HWY 128 out of Moab up to the i70
I wasnt impressed by the million dollar highway. Maybe Im a bit jaded. It's not bad, certainly very scenic. But I wouldn't make the trek for it. Unless you're into offroading. Then the area is probably mecca.
I'd take independence pass over that any day.
One of my favorite drives is "The Peak to Peak Highway" (aka Hwy 72, and then Hwy 7) north out of Blackhawk, CO and follow it all the way into Estes Park, CO. Amazing roads with amazing views, and you get to end up in the best place ever...Estes Park. Perfect little town (although it's crazy busy during the summer tourist season).
I just took this road other week, first time in Colorado and what a road it is
Also getting to drive this in the coming week.
Devils triangle is a good loop, not much for passing but massive switchbacks and when I did it hardly any traffic.
Having driven both Tail of the Dragon and Colorado 141 I have to agree with you. 141 offers gorgeous scenery, is in the middle of nowhere, and was practically deserted when I drove it in September 2017. One thing I will remember about that drive is getting to the Gateway Auto Museum about 30 minutes before they closed (I forgot about the time zone change coming up from Arizona) and the guy behind the desk telling me to take my time going through, because they don't generally kick people out once they close. After making my way through the museum, we proceded to talk about cars, beer, and whiskey for another 30-45 minutes before I left. Great time, a great place, and an amazing drive.
Great to see a video about driving cars. There are too many buy / fix channels, but you never see the cars driven. Then all of a sudden " I have too many cars" and they are sold off. Love your stories.
Caught it right on time!
Look forward to the video!
I love your Tyler's and Tavarishs videos and when ya ll get together it is amazing. Keep up the great work.
You really are living the dream, Ed. Congratulations and God bless.
I'm really happy you went to the roads of northern Georgia in the most recent series of CarTrek. I went to school briefly at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain (that general area), and I had a very good time with my car driving those roads. Absolutely amazing experience.
I’ve been on this road and many great ones but the one that always makes me smile is highway 87 in Arizona.
One of the most underrated roads in America has to be TN-66 from Rogersville to Sneedville, about 40 miles of switchbacks and straightaways and seldom much traffic. Earlier this year I had the top down on my M3, blasting some good music and I was snaking my way up this road and truly the best driving experience of my life so far.
3:26 is literally the road lightning McQueen and Sally went driving on in the movie Cars.
I had a feeling that would be the road. I went on a 7-day road trip 5yrs ago in my 1985 Toyota MR2 and had the pleasure of driving on this road and I can confirm the emotional beauty of the canyons. Definitely a must visit from a driving sense, but combining it with the history and views in Durango, Silverton, Ouray, etc... make it a destination vacation!
JUST drove 141 this week in our Cayenne GTS, then 160 and it was an absolute blast! Great views, great pavement. And the Gateway Resort + Museum were well worth it.
Hey Ed, thanks for sharing another exciting story 👍👍
My favorite road is highway 1 on the central California coast!!
I made a road trip for myself and dad through gateway canyon after watching Car Trek. The road is fantastic, I didn’t see another car the entire drive. Hopefully this video doesn’t crowd it up! Lol.
Love the channel, keep up the great work!
Back of the Dragon from Marion, VA to Tazewell, VA is another good one.
route 89A in Arizona. The entire route, from wickenburg all the way to flagstaff. You pass through Prescott, Jerome, Sedona and finally Flagstaff. It's an entire day trip and well worth it. I've driven a 370z, bmw 135i, volvo s60r, and currently my fiesta st many, many times and can't get enough of that drive.
Okay ... I DID IT. And ... HOLY SHIT! There's absolutely not enough words that can explain how amazing this stretch of road is! When I drove this road I was the ONLY car on the road on a Saturday!!! I *DEFINITELY* didn't go over the posted 30mph speed limit ... on the twisting canyon roads and the long straightaways through the canyons! At no point did I take nearly every turn at three times the posted speed limit and straightaways at four times the posted speed limit. I can't wait to share the video once it's edited! Thanks SO MUCH Ed! Every other road is going to be held in comparison to this experience!
shoutout to Sma Glen in Scotland, a beautiful road between Crieff and Aberfeldy, leading you right through an awesome pass through the scottish hills, and up past Loch Na Creige. all in all a worthwhile drive
Going up and down pch in Malibu is some of the most beautiful roads I've ever seen
Sonora pass that goes over the Sierra Nevadas just north of Yosemite. Perfect road to drive right when it opens after winter.
Car trek Michigan up north edition tons of great driving roads
I grew up on Benedict Canyon Drive in West Los Angeles. I love all the canyon roads in the Santa Monica Mountains. Mulholland Highway is great, but patrolled too heaving to really enjoy.
I can, without reservation, say that I believe Ed should be a professional speaker. His diction, tone, and demeanor are almost unbelievable. Great stuff big Ed!
I did this road on a motorcycle in 2018 and immediately thought this is the best road I've ever ridden and no one knows about this road. The road is about 100 miles long with one gas station in the middle of it which is worth a stop as well.
Taking our Ducati out that way next summer!!!! Have to put a note on the map !!!😀😀😀😀🏍🏍🏍🍺🍺🍺🍺
@@artmchugh5644 it was a blast from start to finish, there was no bad sections. Even met a old timer who owned a bmw motorcycle and swapped stories with him at the gas station. There are cattle crossing grates in the road but as long as you don't fly over them at 120 mph you're fine 👍
Thanks Jason!! There is only 1 thing better than riding my MULTISTRADA!! And I can't remember what it is!!!😀😀😂😂😂🏍🍺🍺 if you want to check this out, this is the tail of the dragon from the fairing of our 2001 ST2. !! Enjoy!! ua-cam.com/video/RAhTlo72nj0/v-deo.html
I remember 141. Beautiful road. Not my favorite, but really good. I ran over a big timber rattler on it. Bear tooth pass is probably my favorite.
Nice to hear someone mention the Twisted Sisters, you don't hear about it a lot because it's overshadowed by the Dragon, PCH and other roads. But it's an awesome set of roads, and definitely a unique challenge that's in its own way unique. It's rougher on your car tho than many of the others, so some people don't like it for that reason. I see it as more of a tarmac rally route. But definitely fun from that viewpoint. I've gone out there every year for 6 years, though the event I started and participated in every year has ceased this year due to the vendor who took it over moving on to other things.
Lake shore Drive, Chicago IL. It never gets old.
The Tail of the Dragon is one of my favorites! I try to go multiple times a year.
The drive up there is amazing from Louisiana.
Can’t wait for the next Car Trek!
Highway 198 between King City/San Lucas and Coalinga in central California is a gem. It's a long, winding, and scenic, though not as grand as other roads in CA. Pretty much the only reason you would ever use it is to get from LA to Monterey, so it's very sparsely populated and driven.
Cherohala Skyway!! My buddy has a cabin in Tellico Plains. Just a nearly perfect road.
Just drove on it on my way to Steamboat springs from moab. Perfect. Even in a plain old mustang gt.
I got to give to you sir you guys are doing amazing with this car trek!🤟🏽
27 through Ouachita national forest in Arkansas is another spectacular road.
Hwy 200 from Libby, to Missoula Montana is one of my favorites.
Being in Spain I can't talk about roads over there. And here I can't think of a really long road that I love. Maybe just one that is "good enough", but first my runner-ups.
- OU-536 from Castro Caldelas to Alto do Rodicio. You may get to the start from Monforte de Lemos and go down the vineyards by the Sil river and its canyon, or from a not so comfortable stretch of road from A Rúa to Pobra de Trives and on not so beautiful piece of road from here to Castro Caldelas. Either way, it's under 20 kms (12 miles) but a surprinsingly nice wide, almost deserted road ending on a high point with views of the whole south of the province, down to Portugal some 50 kms (30 miles) in a straight line. Short but cute.
- AC-101 from As Pontes de García Rodríguez to Ortigueira. 30 kms (18 miles) of beauty on top of the mountains near the Atlantic ocean.
- N-111 from Logroño to Puerto Piqueras. A beautiful road by a river, most of it inside the canyon but with no views as it's a small and narrow one, but beautiful at it and there are at least three castles near the road. Then you should go on down until Soria, but it's not half as beautiful, easier to drive and with a view, but not the same.
- N-403 from Ávila to San Martín de Valdeiglesias. Though this begins before Ávila and keeps all the way to Toledo, and the part from San Martín to Maqueda is also nice, that piece of tarmac from Ávila to San Martín is just gorgeous. Some 50 kms. (30 miles) all over the mountain, with higher mountains on sight, nice turns, it's a thing of beauty. So much so that I have a friend who, like me, lives some 500+ kms (300+ miles) away from it and we both love driving around the country once of twice a year, mostly each one on his own. He once told me "hey, you should try and drive this road from Ávila..." and I interrupted him: "Been there, done that, I love it." Its only sin is having a speed camera (actually two, as it's the kind of speed cameras that monitor your mean speed on a road section) in part of its best part, but still.
And the long one. Not one that I would say it's the greatest by itself, but it works for me.
- N-234 from Burgos to Soria. Or the other way around if you want, but this is the best way to go in my opinion. About 130 Kms (under 80 miles) of a nice, wide, most of the time deserted road. Its only weak spot is not having as many overtaking spots as one would wish when stuck behind of a truck. It doesn't have the best of views, not that they are bad or anything, but it works for me for two reasons. First being that I got to see one of the best sunrises I have ever seen, surely the best one without the sea involved. I was getting close to Soria and night was disappearing without a single cloud in the sky, which turned from black to some kind of dark blue to a beautiful, beautiful yellow that flooded the trees and grass. To top it off, way ahead there's the Moncayo, a peak over 2.300 meters high (over 7.500ft) some 50 kms. (30 miles) away, which seemed at the time so, so small against this vast sky that, man, did I feel small or what. I was going to spend the day taking photos at a monastery and a dozen and a half castles (I had already taken photos at one castle before that moment) so I had my DSLR ready with me, but I didn't bother taking my camera out, I knew I wouldn't make it justice so I just lived the moment.
The second reason is that, at one point, there're this formations on the south side of the road that look like some parts of the West in the U.S.. As I said, I've never been there so you don't have to believe me. Just believe this guy called Sergio Leone who, after being taken there, he decided Sad Hill, the iconic place from "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly" would be there, and still is. Just some 10 kms. (6 miles) from the road and you're there. Some other three locations for the movie were filmed nearby, but after visiting Sad Hill it all makes sense if it didn't already.
Hwy 1 pch north from san diego thru san fran is freaking amazing
Best road in TN is 327 from the square in Byrdstown through Moodyville to State RT 127. Then turn around and go back.
Arkansas Pig Trail - AR 23 from Ozark to Eureka Springs. Epic during fall foliage. Watch out for slippery leaves on road.
The 190 between Olancha and Death Valley Junction, CA is a great stretch.
Excellent. That is some beautiful countryside for sure, I've only passed through Durango before. That would be a fun road trip up from AZ. I gotta go at some point.
I first drove through Gateway Canyon on Saturday, January 13th, 2018 on our way to look at some land in Naturita, CO. We passed on the land, drove to Silverthorne to ski the next day then had dinner. After my wife went to sleep, I watched the latest Grand Tour episode on my phone -- "Jaaaaaaaags" -- and was stunned to see the same "COWS ON ROAD" sign in the episode that I had seen in real life not 8 hours earlier.
As it was January, we took my wife's Nissan XTerra in case there was bad weather. And the entire time I'm on this amazing road all I can hear is Clarkson saying, at a distance, "you've brought the wrong car".
I really enjoy a couple local roads around here in Sacramento. Latrobe Road is fun, as is Fiddletown Road. And you can't forget about Salmon Falls Road.
One of my favorite road which I've driven several times in a CRX & a Del Sol is the Alaskan & Cassiar Highway (Anchorage Alaska to Seattle, Washington) about 2,400 miles. Even planning another trip but this time start in Anchorage & follow the coast all the down to LA & I'm bringing cinematography gear with me. Shooting w/a BM6KPro & in no hurry.
The fraser canyon in bc is literally the same mountain range, and a stretch of it is this dry. In bc Canada the highways had to be made to fit the lay of the land and thus are dynamic and the scenery seems to cup the road into its folds. If you have a day off you can drive from Vancouver north through whistler on the dangerous sea to sky highway, East to the fraser on an old highway made for British roadsters and getting bugs in your teeth, then south back to Vancouver on the dangerous coquihalla "highway through hell". Then try it in the winter and have it be brand new and exciting again
I'm from Colorado, and I love Gateway. That said, there are TONS of great roads in Colorado, though many of them are becoming too populated, sadly.
Beautiful place with beautiful cars in the museum.
I could tell from the thumbnail it was gateway canyon. I used to live in Naturita, CO right off hwy 141. Cool
You're the personification of the cliche expression "Living the dream" Love the Treks!
Utah 12 between Panguitch UT and Torrey UT is about the best road I have ever driven. Not for fast driving but interesting road with crazy curves and magnificent natural beauty.
Have been on a few of these roads. My favorite is not suitable for fast cars. The Shafer Road in Canyonlands Park is a fun drive in something with some extra clearance. Last ran it at age 78 . Am now 81 but still looking for fun roads!!!
Favorite road ive drivin gotta be the 101 from San Francisco to oregon did it this psst summer most of the drive with the sun roof open doesnt get much better than that
I saw the thumbnail and was like... "That's gotta be Gateway Canyon along the Dolores River". Pretty cool...you can keep going and go the back way into the Moab area through Bedrock, CO. There are some great roads down the Hite Marina and Canyonlands from there too. Not too far from Monument Valley as well. Go the other way and you have Mesa Verde and down to Taos as well. I was floored the first time I drove from Gateway up to Grand Junction... start in the dessert and get up into Alpine conditions. Basically drove up into some low hanging Clouds as I went up that Canyon. If you are coming up from Moab... its kind of unspectactular for a bit...and then you litterally turn the corner into an overlook that literally took my breath away the first time I drove it. This is coming from someone who grew up in the area and has "gotten used to" the views that come with it. Definitely wish I could wipe my mind clean and experience a bunch of these kinda places for the first time again.
CA hwy 33 north of Ojai... If you're ever near LA, so yourself a favor and check it out. It's unpatrolled canyon road that is glorious.
Rout 24 through Utah from Moab to Bryce canyon. Best road i ever drove
It’s short but Oak Creek Canyon between Flagstaff and Sedona is cool if traffic is light enough to make some crazy passes.
I’ve loved riding the Tail of the Dragon (and similar roads in that region) on my motorcycle, but Ed is right. It is tight and it isn’t for everyone.
I drove Hwy. 141 in CO about six weeks ago in my Jeep Wrangler Sport as part of a four day road trip. Unfortunately, smoke from western wildfires completely obscured the views. I also rode through there about five years ago on my Kawasaki Versys 650.
Mount Saint Helens is a devastatingly beautiful and fun drive. Especially on a bike.
What's a bike?
The million Dollar Highway in Colorado it starts in Ouray. It’s an amazing road to take and it’s not that far from Gateway Canyon.
Getting that one too next week.
The road the surrounds Mt. Rushmore in the park is quite a good time. Best time if you go out of season with less tourists.
East Canyon and Logan Canyon in Utah and Bogus Basin Rd in Boise are my favorites for sure
I used to think we drove fast on I-70 and I-35 back in Kansas. 85 was the defacto speed limit, but anything over 95 meant you going to get pulled over.
Try any interstate within 50 miles of Chicago. The only people not running 85 plus are trucks towing loads, or people accelerating up to speed, or decelerating to exit.
Rattlesnake grade in Southeastern Washington state is an amazing road. Need to watch for wildlife on it as well!
The Snake in NE Tennessee near bristol. Plenty of curves and less traveled than the tail of the dragon. Pretty much had it to myself when I went.
Gotta do the 401 eastbound from airport road to markham rd in Toronto. In the Lambo only. You will never forget it
Some great roads, with great diversity, are the Black Hills in SD. Will maintained roads because it's a state park. Beautiful weather as well, and scenery. Basically unknown to anyone outside the Midwest.
Would be cool to see you guys buy older Porsche cars ( or similar small cars) and go on this route. Kentucky’s Windiest Road Has Over 350 Curves And It’s Not For The Faint Of Heart
Located in scenic southeastern Kentucky, the Little Shepherd Trail is a curvy mountain road that twists and turns more than 350 times as it leads to the most stunning views in the state. The windiest road in Kentucky is not for the faint of heart, but your heart will surely fall in love with this magical drive in our beautiful state.
Foothills Parkway, if your going to tail of the Dragon, try thus road it is spectacular. Do watch out it is monitored in spots, but the views and road itself is one of the best roads I've ever been on.
I will be coming back to this video in 10 years when I have a great car to take their
Come to new Zealand, great roads here....my miata loves it....
Check out the highway 70 canyon in Northern CA from Oroville to Quincy.
CO Hwy 92, the north rim of the Black Canyon. You were so close.
Love the Kank highway in New Hampshire
Drive to Denver. Head West on US 6 to Col. 119. Continue on to Col. 72, then at Allen's Park take Col. 7 to Estes Park... Your Welcome...
Check out going to the sun road in glacier national park, and the beartooth pass outside of redlodge mt.
And thank you for the awesome content.
If you get to New Zealand. Opotiki to Gisborne.. takes about 2 hours.
Ed, I always say Gateway Canyon was the best road ever. Thanks to David and LuxRally to get us there. Only problem with driving fast was the distraction from the amazing scenery.
Oakridge to Alcoa!!! Pellissippi Pkwy is the best, cause it's great for TOP SPEED runs.
I did a 500+ mile round trip yesterday to buy a car and I wore my Car Trek t-shirt. At a gas stop just south of Cleveland, Ohio a guy asked me if I worked for Car Trek! I told him I was just a fan and we chatted about the show and how much we enjoyed it! It was pretty cool!
Wellllll ??? What car did you buy ???? 😁😁😁😁😁😁🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚘🚘🍺🍺🍺
@@artmchugh5644 Audi S5 sportback.
I agree with your opinion about the Dragon's Tail vs some of the roads the way to and from from North Georgia. Many of them are just as good if not better.
They're not well known other than the "pig trail" but some of the best roads around my part of Arkansas are around Jasper. Great place to run some motorcycle or cars up. I just saw several Ferrari and other cars in Leslie Ar so I'm guessing they were running a rally through the area.
Gorgeous godspeed Ed.
