Old Fort Mountain–I 40, both ways
Old Fort Mountain is a beautifully steep, curvy, wide and only moderately traveled road–great for driving enthusiasts, both going up and down. I used to travel it everyday and had a blast. I believe it’s around a nice 5 mile run. But there are a total of three middle emergency turn arounds where state troopers love to park in: one at the top, one about 3.5 mi down and the other about a half mile from the bottom. The second one is the toughest, as you are just coming off a left curve heading down a straightway. It’s really hard to pull off going fast; your best bet is to just go the speed limit. I was able to pull it off just by watching the cars in front of me brake lights–if I saw them come on before I made it around that corner, I put on the brakes; because after you go around that corner, you’re screwed.
