And your favorite roads are …?
Just returned a couple of days ago from a terrific motorcycling trip with my two sons, Kyle and John. We racked up more than 800 miles over a three-day weekend, all inside Wisconsin.
You know, unless you get out there and roam around, it’s easy to forget just how beautiful Wisconsin is — summer-only, for this fair-weather traveler; I’m not so fond of snow.
Anyway, four highlights for us:
• Hwy. 35 (Great River Road) from Prairie du Chien to La Crosse.
• Hwy. 108 through coulee country from West Salem to Monrose.
• Hwy. 49, through Iola and Waupaca.
• Hwy. 70 from St. Germain to Eagle River.
The scenery is different for each one of these, but lovely in its own right. We highly recommend it, on two wheels or four.
What scenic roads get your blood pumping around Wisconsin — or Illinois, for that matter? The old stagecoach route from the Stateline Area to Galena through Northern Illinois is spectacular riding along the ridges.
Let’s hear your favorites. Without a doubt, tips on great roads help other travelers enjoy the scenery.
