Upstate NY doesn't have a million pluses but one it does have is great country roads through wooded hilly sweepers only fifteen minutes away. The 73 or so days each year you get to enjoy them are great...

The finger Lake Are of Upstate NY didn't attract the road racers to Watkins Glen for no real reason.

Maui has some of the best roads I've driven on. Upcountry area going out to Ulupalakua and in particular Crater Road going to to volcano. Excellent twisty road and very steep at times. An aerial view shows a ribbon like road laid alng the mountain slope and rewarded with a breathtaking sight at the summit. Going around the West side is great too but the blacktop gets neglected years at a time.
It goes without saying that the views are fantastic wherever you are on the island.

There are so many great roads out here in Colorado. The roads into and through the mountains just west of the front range all have spectacular views and several are lightly traveled. I have a favorite but I'm not sharing it.

For sheer beauty and even sometimes almost alien landscapes, there isn't much I've seen that can compare to northern Italy and Swizerland in the summer. Alot of the travel is on top of the mountains as opposed to through the valleys that is common here and it makes the scenery quite stunning. Here are a couple of shots of the twisty roads. You don't want to be speeding here, there are unexpected turns, bikers, and police in different places, but honestly, you don't want to speed on these roads anyway.
