"This is the best twisty road in the state. I have been riding it since 1986 when it was gravel.
' Twas a bit different back then. It is much better now. Gee maybe if another of these volcano's went off we could get some more good roads like this."
--Jim Fontana
"This road is my favorite road of all time. I think it should have been DH1 in the book, but DH2 is close enough. You owe it to yourself to ride this road at least
once!"--Mike
"As good as advertised. Awesome road
and views. Only word of caution is to look for falling rocks/gravel in places,
sometimes in spots you can't see until very late in the corner. Other than
that, it is a "must" ride. This is probably a better morning ride
than afternoon as that area seems to attract lots of sightseeing families and
tourists by late morning."--Eric
Wikstrom
"This road is amazing! Yes, gravel can be
a problem. However, this road is SO good, you won't get bored riding it over
and over until you memorize where every flaw is...then you'll want to ride it
a few more times! This road is even better before schools out for summer and
after labor day when traffic is reduced to a trickle." --Craig
"Just finished DH2 and had a blast. Great road with a lot of sharp, quick turns. Only negative was almost rattling a filling
loose on DH4 getting there!" --Lee Zarella
"We went to the Mt. St. Helens area specifically to ride DH 2, 3 & 4. This is one KICK-BUTT Ride!!! I had new Kuryakyn Iso pegs on my VTX 1800C and before we got 30 miles, I had ground them to a 45 degree angle! The repairs to the pavement (when they've been made) are not the best. Having ridden DH1 as well, DH2 is slightly more remote but the scenery isn't as lush. Make no mistake, though... this is fun! We rode early on a Friday morning... and practically had the road to ourselves! Pylons that were on the road generally recognized that we were out to have fun... they moved aside and let us
ride."--B "Grinch" Francis
