The Natchez is different....no high speed anything there.  However, the scenery and "lazy" pace make it a great road for me, at least.  I enjoy the fast, curvy stuff but it's nice to slow down and smell the flowers once in a while.... ;D

Agreed, however I wouldn't go out of my way to ride it again.  I'd go back to Colorado for the MDH and several other roads there in a heartbeat.

I'll tell you another awesome road is 141 from Whitewater Co to Vancorum Co. And 95 north from Blanding Utah toward Lake Powell in the Glen Canyon National park. Utah is beautiful State too ride. Just have to watch the heat.

The AR Dragon, I know it well as I ride it every year sometimes twice a year.
The AR dragon is good. it's about 40 miles from my house. If you like that you need to ride Hwy 9 from Sylamore (just north of Mtn View)
to Melbourne. 20 of the best miles in Arkansas IMO.

The Dragon?  Nope.  The Natchez?  It's scenic but that's about it.  Nothing in Arkansas, only 1 road in VA/WV/MD, nothing in VT/MA/NH.

It's not on their list but Rt100  in Vermont is among my favorites in the New England area. Then there's Hawks Nest in Deer Park NY - part of the Upper Delaware scenic byway.

That's probably my favorite stretch in Arkansas.  Though 7 south out of Harrison is also a nice scenic but generally non-challenging ride.

I've got some of the 15.  But not all.  Doesn't count until I get them all I guess.  Just means I've got a few rides yet to look forward to.

These roads are unique in their own way. I've been very fortunate the past few year to be able to travel on several of these roads and many others that are not on this list. I won't be able to do it many more years due to my back condition. But while I able and can afford too ride, I'm on a mission too see as much of this country before the guy in the white house ruins it for us all................God Bless our Country, Please! I have many more roads too ride. ;)

I'll have to check that road out this year, I also like the Pig Trail Hwy 23 from Brashears to Ozark.

I think the Dragon should be off the list. There are much better roads in the same area without all the idiots on the road.

So, so many. Hwy 12 Escalante Staircase? Guess to be fair they need to make it the top 1500
