Cool Favorite local drives?

Hey guys,

I'm wondering what some of your favorite local drives are in the north west. Things like the north cascades loop, any special mountain passes that are extremely scenic and fun (and twisty!).

Can I get a list of places, and the general amount of time it takes to complete the drive? I'm hoping I can start taking better advantage of the NW scenery and fun roads to drive this summer.

This is a general statement not to be takenm harshly and I don't mean to come off like a d1ck... But the drive he speaks of is where I live and where I do a lot of my practice driving at... Add fast weekend drives of lots of import cars and the local officials start to get nosey... Case in point, try to drive Ben Howard in Monroe without the cops or state patrol showing up... That is an amazing road, and usually its a one shot deal and than you'll need to move on to another somewhere else without a ticket or at least someone in black and white following you out...

That's my rant...
