Wayah Road from US19/74 to US64, or the reverse route.
Scenery
Hard to keep your eyes on the road at times! The west end starts you going up a gorge tracing the stream with some waterfalls mixed in. Once you reach the peak (the AP trail crosses around here) there is a large lake at the top. Nice winding road around it then the fun begins; lots of tight curves and more elevation changes. Keep your eyes on the road: not much in guard rails protecting you from some rather large drop-offs! Eventually you "wind down" on some less technical roads and at a little gas station/convenience shop. IIRC, this station has REAL gas (no ethanol).
Drive Enjoyment
I'm rating this as a three. Some sections are real nice; some are dirty. The west side of the road is hard for me to read where it looks like there's loose gravel, but it's really not.
Tourism Opportunities
Not a whole lot between the two main roads. Take this drive for the scenery and the curves.
Went down in today and a good portion of road has been patched and has lots of asphalt debris still. The patch work makes it difficult to navigate too. They are still doing road work and have equipment working. I have ridden this road before and was very disappointed. Was probably the worst road I have been on in area.

Loved this road, until it started raining. Became VERY slick along the river. All in all, a must ride !!

One of my favorite rides. Be sure to stop at the northern end and checkout the raft launch site. Lots of fun turns with limited access. ENJOY!
