West and southwest Wisconsin is full of great drivers roads snaking through the rolling hills. One of my favorites is Hwy 33 between La Crosse and Wildcat Mountain. It snakes along the top of a rolling bluff, and usually has very little traffic.

In my travels, I've also been on a lot of great roads out west as well, including most of the ones posted above.

A few that stand out for me:

-The Pacific Coast highway. Even in an Explorer, that was fun to drive.

-US 2 and 89, and Hwy 49 along the east and southeast sides of Glacier National Park.

-US 191 through the canyon between Bozeman, Montana, and West Yellowstone. There is usually too much traffic on this, but if you are lucky enough to catch an empty stretch at the right time, it is amazing.

-US 34 through the canyon between Loveland and Estes Park, Colorado. Another road that tends to have too much traffic, but when empty, it is like going up God's driveway, particularly if you have a convertible.

-Hwy 141 in western Colorado. Not the best driver's road, but still a good one. At the half way point, stop in Gateway. It is in the middle of absolutely nowhere, but some eccentric billionaire built a huge resort there, with an enormous car museum with dozens of 6 and 7 figure cars. Remember the $3 million Oldsmobile concept based on the first Corvette from Barret Jackson? That's where it went.
