a favored road by bikers, motorcyclists, and scooterists! you gotta hit 1) Waggoner's Gap in Cumberland & Perry Counties, 2) hill climb from 325 by Carsonville Hotel, and back mountain road up into Lykens, and 3) Rte 125 outta Hegins and up into Shamokin...

Hands down, my favorite motorcycle road locally. I took my wife and son on the Gameland tour last weekend in 211 for the drive up the Rail Trail. We came home via Goldmine Road, down through Indiantown Gap and a stop at the Snitz Creek Brewery on 934. Thanks for taking us along.

I already have this marked as part of a future route, just haven't gotten to it yet. I have family in Benton and a while back I got tired of the trip up 15/11 from MD to Bloomsburg, so I started looking for alternate routes on the PA State roads, first few trips were up through Carlisle and along 74 and others, last couple trips were the first I'd ever gone into Harrisburg and then up the east side of the Susquehanna and into the hills on that side. Since I usually do it on a motorcycle, the hills and curves are an added attraction, I've turned a 240 mile route into nearly 400.

@@samanthab1923 one time on my way home from work a fast snow squall came through. Dumped a few inches of snow in quickly. It was sunny when I started up the Lebanon side. Right before the last hairpin turn the snow was deep and getting worse by the minute. There were about 10 cars in front of me. I got out to see what was going on up ahead. A few car tried to make their descent on the steep untreated road. They got snuck blocking the road. The line of traffic continued to grow behind me. We waited four hours until Penndot got trucks up there to clean things up. I was almost out of gas and pissing in a Gatorade bottle. What an experience. I tend to avoid Gold Mine Road these days.

Nice ride Cliff, I hope to go to World End's State Park and then to Great Knob tomorrow ( Sunday} from there cut across country to Rt 44 and back home from there. Not sure if I'll take RT 414 north through Pine Creek Gourge or go north on 44 and take a MT road across country to Colton Pt St Park. Rt 414 is a beautiful ride from Morris to Rt 44 and a favorite of mine. Another scenic route is RT 144 from Renova to Snow Shoe, several vista s to stop at and might see an Elk.

Yes. The stoney valley rail trail follows an old railway that goes through two or three old abandoned mining villages. Just past the rail trail, if you're heading north, maybe a quarter mile on the left is an old road/ trail that leads back to the abandoned village of gold mine.
