		<description><![CDATA[When one is asked to envision a place with jaw-dropping scenery and fantastic twisty roads, the Klickitat River Canyon is generally not the first thing on anybody&#8217;s mind. It&#8217;s set back in a little nook between the Cascade and the Simcoe Mountain north of Goldendale. The Klickitat has carved an impressive channel down through &#8220;The [...]]]></description>

The paving also leaves a lot of be desired with large frost heaves and sunken sections of pavement.

		<description><![CDATA[Pioneer Highway. A nice curvy specimen of roadcraft and an apt name as well, since the road curves here and there all over the Stillaguamish River valley. The pavement is a little rough and appears to be surprisingly light-duty for what is a state highway, after all. There&#8217;s significant bumps along the road and small [...]]]></description>

It winds along the Green River in amongst the trees, and provides a nice getaway from the aggressive freeway traffic.

Nestled within the glacial river valleys that once drained Puget Sound down to Grays Harbor, this road is bracketed throughout its entire 24 mile length by ridges, ponds and hillsides.

This road starts over at Interstate 5 and heads East to the village of Yale, then turns to the South and down towards Vancouver, Washington. While the West Leg of 503 is a nice little road, it&#8217;s becoming increasingly urbanized [...]]]></description>

Like much of the area, it&#8217;s starting to suburbanize and has far more luxury houses than it did 5 years ago.

While it&#8217;s 35 mile per hour speed limit causes it to be a rather leisurely way to cover this distance, it is also fairly empty and doesn&#8217;t appear to be heavily patrolled.

		<description><![CDATA[State Route 9 is one of Washington State&#8217;s finer examples of a rural highway. The curves are well-engineered and most of the curves have very good visibility. The pavement is very hig-quality, to the point of being in a shockingly well-maintained state from the viewpoint of this jaded Seattle moto-commuter. There&#8217;s also no lack of [...]]]></description>

A very nice, smooth road that is made up almost entirely of wide sweepers and bridges leaping across various canyons.
