California Route 36 is considered one of the most scenic and most dangerous roads in the country. The paved road consists of 140 miles of sharp and often unpredictable and unexpected twists and turns. The road connects Route 101 in Humboldt County and Route 395 near Susanville in Lassen County. One particular long series of twists looks like a roller coaster or something designed specifically for adventurous motorcyclists. Route 36 passes amazing and diverse topography, including some lovely redwood forests, and at many points it offers wonderful views, but you will be too busy trying to stay on the road to be able to enjoy the vistas. The road is mostly in great condition, except in a few spots where it gets a bit rough. It has big stretches with guardrails with scary drops on the other side, so drive carefully.
