Actually before today I had only been to Three of them. (Now I want to go to them all!) 1) South Dakota 2) Colorado (I can see from my house) 3) California this was (and is) popular with riders from the Bay area back even before WWII (this is the one that I always read about in old MC rags) I have also seen several streets named "Skyline Drive" everywhere. In Colorado I know of three Engineer passes that are within 10 miles of the others. (two are in same county) We also have eight Ute passes.

"35mph speed limit"? Last time I was down there it was 15 mph. You had to start your ride in the morning so you could make it to the end before the sun went down.
Time to go back. A beautiful ride.
