lol spokane is pretty flat as far as ive seen for that stuff. ive seen some good curvy roads over here in idaho but not any "canyon" roads. damn it would be nice though... lemme know if you find any lol

yea.. when i moved up here i drove throug utah montana and idaho.. being on the 90 freeway it goes through a mountain.. seems fun.. lots of nice turns.. but its a main freeway and im not an idiot to put peoples lives in danger lmfao.. even tho i have thought about a late run like 2 am going through it.. when i went through it the first time it was snowing.. and i was on just regular tires so iwasnt going over 40 ( sliding a little in the turns )...

but man.. i sure miss the roads in cali... i just call them "canyon" if it goes through a mountain.. shit any twisties would be nice

ya spokane doesnt really have anything. If you head south on i-90 towards yakima, there is the mountain highway which is a blast to drive through! Cliffs a couple hundred feet high and the yakima river flowing down the middle. Look at a map and look between Ellensburg and Selah... there are two "highways" that go in between!

I-90 toward seattle until you start hittin the passes, or head out to the idaho montana border. the pass and the roads on I-90 there are great.

true ive had fun out that way more than a few times... if your car can corner its lots of fun because its not real populated. staters like to hide in a few spots but i know where :D post falls has a few good twistys too. i scared the crap out of a salesman on a test drive in a 03 eclipse. those things do not corner well let me tell you.

dude.. i love twisties.. in cali.. i used to drive 20 mintues on the freeway on the 15 to go through the 76 to oceanside then i would drive 20 minutes down the 5 to go through the ortega highway and that would put me back on the 15 headed home.. it was a fun 2 1/2 hour drive.. i used to go through "deluz" to falbrook through vista through pala then back down in temecula thats a fun 3-4 hour drive depending on what route i go...

I LOVE ME TWISTIES LOL

Rainier roads are about as twisty as it gets...

if you are really that willing to drive for it, you should just come out here once it warms up and you can make a day run. start at the top of snoqualmie pass in the morning, go down through seattle, then head up north and do the mountain runs up mount baker and the skagit river. that's a whole day of driving right there. could make an interesting d-meet if anyone else wanted in.
