2. North Carolina and Virginia, Blue Ridge Parkway Trail:
Every motorcyclist will tell you that this trail is one of those trails that you as a motorcyclist have to take in your lifetime; why is that? Because it is a mountain trail. You will go through the countryside, which will remind you of your childhood a lot, so get ready for some nostalgia-driven drive. As you make your way, you will get into what is called the "Great Smoky Mountains". They are called that because it is very foggy, and you can even see the clouds around you as if you could touch them. Moving on, you will see a smooth, wells-structured Blue Ridge Parkway, where you will be engulfed with the astonishing sceneries and enjoy the curves at the same time. You will have to drive under the 45-mile limit, which will give you ample time to enjoy the views, savour them, and really burn them into your memory.
3. Montana and Wyoming, Beartooth Highway Trail:
This trail is 68-miles of pure beauty filled with uncanny shaped roads that will make you feel like you are somewhere absolutely alien.

You will start your journey from Brunswick and go all the way to Machias; there, you will witness seaside villages and numerous lighthouses along the way as if you are in a 1950's mystery movie. You will witness many towns, some casual people along the way, which will make you feel like you are part of some renaissance Disney movie as well.
