Why ride Pennsylvania?
Switchback scores every road in Pennsylvania by corner density and elevation, not by how fast it gets you somewhere. The result is a shortlist worth the detour — Laurel Highlands Scenic Byway among them — each mapped mile by mile with the fuel stops, overlooks, and bailouts that actually matter on two wheels.
Plan before you ride
Mountain and high-desert routes in Pennsylvania can be seasonal — verify pass and weather conditions before you commit, top off fuel before long service gaps, and check the mile-by-mile breakdown on each road's page for the named corners, stops, and turnarounds. Pro riders get offline maps for the stretches where cell coverage drops out.
