daemn42 | One of the best twisty roads I've ever ridden @daemn42 | Uploaded October 2019 | Updated October 2024, 12 hours ago.
NF-30 / Meadow Creek Rd / Wind River Rd about 30 miles north of Stephenson WA.
(Best viewed at 1440p for max detail, even on 1080p display)
It's only about a 6 mile long stretch, but it's smooth and fast, with relentless banked turns. Definitely in my top 10.
My dad and I were returning from the north end of the WABDR, and came down from Packwood via NFD-25 (w/ detour to Mt. St. Helens), NF-90, Curly Creek Rd, and then NF-30 when we came upon this road. We passed a couple sport bike riders pulled off at the top of Oldman Pass talking to each other in "twisty" hand gestures. We were moving along at a good clip and I suspected they might follow us down the hill. Sure enough, a couple minutes later my dad says "those bikers caught me up, I'm going to let em pass". He did, and then I picked up the pace a bit. Fun was had by all. The 2nd biker gave me a thumbs up as he passed at the bottom. Anyway, it's a fun and memorable road, and would be even more fun not loaded down with heavy Panniers.
Bike: Triumph Tiger 800 XCx
Tires: Motoz Tractionator GPS (barely WABDR capable offroad, surprisingly great onroad)
