I've been fortunate enough to have ridden my bike in all States except Alaska and Hawaii, and so far my favorite is Utah.

However, I'm looking for your valued opinions as I plan for our post-covid trip (fingers crossed) this year, and wondered which State I should plan on returning to first in case I've missed something.

Cheers,
Mike

I have trouble planning trips to places I want to go other than Utah, because I always feel like I'm squandering another opportunity to visit the most beautiful riding area I've seen.  Alas, first worls probs...

I prefer riding in the west than the east.  And while I've always loved riding in northern New Mexico I'm also picking Utah.  Always look forward to heading that way for a summer solo road trip.  Suppose it helps that I've got wide-open-ness to ride through a lot to get there.

Western North Carolina has always been  scenic, and rider friendly, to me.

Nice post. We always seem to gravitate towards the CO Rockies for vacation and never seem to run out of things to see. Smokies would be next

I say Utah is my favorite.  That said I love CO, WY also.  Beartooth pass from Red lodge MT it Cody WY is my favorite road.  550, Million dollar Hwy in CO is aa close second as is 12, Escalante Stair case through UT.  The National parks is UT are spectacular.

Utah is great but it is hard to beat Colorado for great riding and scenery.

Utah has some nice riding but you'll not find places like Montana's Beartooth Pass or Colorado's Million Dollar Hwy. or California's Hwy. 1 in Utah.  Hands down, Colorado has the best riding and more high altitude passes than any other state and they also have the highest paved road in America.  Colorado!

It was late April.....when they are susceptible to a late snow fall.....we arrived a bit early.

As a furriner, I've ridden in only 5 States, though I've made non-riding trips to 17 or thereabouts, including Alaska and Hawaii, but from my limited point of view, no hesitation in saying West rather than East, and my pick would be Montana, hands down.

Wyoming, Montana, Utah; that wonderfully large and open area is amazing.  The Scot makes good choices .

Upper Michigan is one of my favorite places to ride in summer (motorcycle) and Winter (snowmobile). Beautiful scenery, great back roads, interesting bars, and lots of old artifacts.

Hands down ALASKA!!!! It was a beautiful ride through Canada to Alaska. This is a must ride!!!
