Longboarding Owens Gorge Road
Longboarding Owens Gorge Road is a beautiful and super smooth run through the Inyo National Forest. The section of Owens Gorge Road that I recommend longboarding is about four miles long, losing a little over 300 feet of elevation. This makes for a pretty mellow longboard run with a slight downhill pace for most of it. And then at the last half mile of the run there is a large and steep hill section!

Longboarding Rock Creek Road | California
Rock Creek Road is a beautiful mountain road in the eastern Sierras of California, at the Tom's Place exit off of the CA 395. The paved section of this road runs for ten miles from the CA 395 and has an elevation change of over 2,800 feet! The paved road ends, and longboarding Rock Creek Road begins, at a place called Rock Creek Pack Station - a gateway to exploring the Sierras.

Longboarding Hyalite Canyon
Hyalite Canyon is a windy mountain road just south of Bozeman, Montana that leads to the Hyalite Reservior.

The lush Montana forest surrounds both sides of the pavement for the entire ride down the mountain.

Longboarding Beartooth Highway
The Beartooth Highway is a beautiful high elevation highway that crosses the border of Montana and Wyoming. This incredible scenic drive passes over the Beartooth Pass at a whopping 10,947 feet above sea level. From the pass the road is smooth, downhill and curvy - perfect longboarding conditions. Longboarding Beartooth Highway makes for an unforgettable downhill longboard run that few people experience. High elevation lakes are scattered throughout the drive as you pass mountain peaks and stunning rock formations.
