Highway 96, Happy Camp, CA
Highway 96, near the CA-OR border, is the longest continuous motorcycle road in California, offering 146 miles of uninterrupted mountain curves.

Highway 108 - Sonora Pass, CA
Highway 108 - Sonora Pass filled my feed yesterday. It’s open. Early. If there is one road that defines the dramatic beauty of the Sierra Nevada Range, it’s Highway 108. Reaching 9,624 feet at its summit, this isn't just a mountain crossing; it’s an alpine jewel that deserves a spot on every rider's bucket list. The ride truly transforms once you leave the historic Gold Rush charm of Sonora behind and start climbing. This 80-mile stretch of mountain road morphs from oak-cover
