I've ridden all the ones above except the Dragon. I rode the Three Sisters in Texas hill country a few years ago and was a bit disappointed. Nice country ride but not spectacular.

I'm hoping to go back to southern BC this year.......we'll see.

Needles and The Dragon are great roads. Love Needles for the scenery, love the Dragon for 8.5 miles of handle bar tuggin', board rubbin' good times. Don't think Iron Mountain is under my tires, yet.
The Angeles Crest Highway (Route 2; Did I spell that right?) North-east of "the Valley" is an awesome handlebar tuggin' road as well. We stumbled on it when we did our Route 66 trip... Ufda, the arms were tired after that!
