The directions couldn't be much easier. Just start your route in Breezewood, PA and take US 30 (Lincoln Highway) all the way to Chambersburg, PA.
Scenery
I couldn't believe that US 30 wasn't on MotorcycleRoads.com. The views on this are amazing. The mountains and the look out points are fantastic!!! I little bit of history; this is the road that Lincoln took to Gettysburg. Its a good thing they didn't have motorcycles bake then or else he might have never given the Gettysburg Address, he would have kept riding this part over and over.
Drive Enjoyment
Nice amount of twist and turns up and downs. The road seems like its maintained well.
Tourism Opportunities
Gas up in Breezewood if you need it because there is very little till you get to Chambersburg. There is a biker bar on top of one of the high points (nice view from there ... I recommend a stop here).

I ride Rt 30 from Gettysburg to Ligonier every year to go to the Highland Festival in Sept. It's a ride thru history, from the Indian Wars to the present. Gorgeous views here and there, one of my all time favorite local rides.

My ride had me on 30 all the way from NJ to 75n. I was ahead of schedule with time to kill and remembered seeing this bit of 30 on here. Glad I decided to continue on and check it out. This section from 75 to Breezewood was by far the nicesest section of 30 I had ridden. There is also a very nice overlook just east of Breezewood almost at top of mountain. Small sign marking it and it's back aways on gravel road. You can ride right up to the edge.

This is a great ride and if you want to keep going, Rt. 30 will take you into Gettysburg as well.
