Been a few times GPS didn’t know where I was or how to get me home. 😳
Not sure I can choose just one.
Some of the best riding is in the Ozarks, but I live there so that doesn't qualify as a vacation destination.
We really like the Smokies, have been to a few TT gatereings and will be going again. It was too bad it was so wet this last year and we had to leave early. Had a great ride on the Rattler, and want to go back to that great little restaurant in Hot Springs, NC. I believe it was called the Smoky Mountain Diner.
I love the U.P. of Michigan (used to live there) - Brockway Mountain Drive, Tahquamenon Falls near Paradise, Lake of the Clouds in the Porcupine Mountains, etc.
One of my vacation dream rides would be to begin in Copper Harbor, Mi at the top of the Keweenaw Peninsula and follow US 41 south to Miami Florida, then on US 1 down to Key West.
And then there's...well, the list goes on and on.
Don - 2004 GL1800 Champion trike, 2018 Can Am Spyder RT Limited
2 wheeler: 2013 Triumph Bonneville T100
FORR Local 11, AMA, MRF, Mid-South MILE Committee
Bucket List Item.
i'd love to do the Florida Keys on the trike.
I've pondered this thread long enough. Still can't decided so I'm just going to toss four out there as equals.
In no particular order: For pure riding pleasure: The Three Sisters any time of year, The Ozarks and Smoky Mountains in early or late summer, The Black Hills June and July, and lastly the Most Beautiful would be Vermont and New Hampshire in the fall.

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.
The eyes of men are never satisfied.......
I think that is where I'd most like to try a ride.... lived on the Keeweenaw twice, while in the Coast Guard....first time at the station by the park, the second time in Laurium. The ride to Copper Harbor would be fantastic as would brockway mtn! When I first started reading this thread, I thought "I'm done with destination vacations", but you reminded me of a place that I'd love to visit and ride!

My favorite: Stay overnight in Ft. Collins, Co., then one day trike trip to Laramie, west to Centennial, Wyo., south to Walden, Co., big left to Grand Lake, Co., over the top of Rocky Mountain National Park, down to Estes Park, then to Ft. Collins.
If you do the Harley ABC points thing, there are a lot of hard to get points along the way (National Forests, Park, cities, and on ---), plus it's one scenic trip.
Great Run. Went to Estes Park in June this yr. Stay at KOA for 3 days and also camped at Grand Lake on the western slope. Peak to Peak HWY. MT EVANS then to Durango. Camped there for 4 days and Million Dollar Loop and Mesa Verda Wolf Creek Pass Pagosa Springs Taos The Cimmaron Trail .......
RMNP Rocky Mountain National Park is one of my Favorite Destinations
Been to the Dragon, Cherahola, BRP and Smokies twice on 2 wheels. Loved that whole area, hope to do it again on the Tri.
Liked the Black Hills a lot when we did it a year ago (after the rally).
Planning on Chief Joseph, Beartooth & Yellowstone next summer (can't wait).
Closer to home, I like the Mississippi river valley in western WI (both sides of the river. Born & raised in ne Iowa and still like to ride that area.
It is what it is.
