I've been in the Canadian Rockies before, and would love to go back as I was only 3 at the time.

Interesting list, although I've never heard of this "Bloemen Route" (#46) in the Netherlands.

Judging from the sample of the fifty I have actually driven (nine, eight of which are in the USA), it is a mixture of exceptional and "just pretty nice" routes.

this is not ruta 40.

it is ruta 23, the spur to El Chalten, with Cerro Torre and Monte Fitz Roy in the background. 

definitely a road worth driving.  I have photos just like this one, except with more overcast weather obscuring Cerro Torre.

It's because of lists like this that I still buy lottery tickets.
