Highway 198, Sequoia National Park

Sequoia Kings Canyon is one of the states best kept secret. Unlike it's big brother Yosemite to the north. You won't find the hustle and bustle of maddening crowds at every stop. There is so much to see that you might want to consider finding a place to stay near by or in the park and really get out and see everything this treasure trove has to offer. Another of the states great lil secrets is Lassen National Park, but that's another post.

My son and I just stayed in Three Rivers, Ca in June and rode up and down to Sequoia Park several times. We were there mid week so traffic was light. The road is great with lots of 10-15 mph hairpins that will test your mettle to ride much faster than that. My son was on a newer Bonneville and I was on a newer Night Rod. We used all the tread available on these two bikes. :-)
You definitely will be paying attention, but it's a great ride through about three different ecosystems. Top ten road I've been on for motorcycles....

I was on this road in 2009 and was looking forward to riding again this year (2011). However the experience was very painful, The road is under heavy re-construction and on some parts the road is limited to one lane with an excessive wait time. Other parts of the road were being resurfaced, so the road was completely covered with loose gravel. This road was no fun this year and I would recommend you check with the Park on road status before you ride this stretch.
