Year-round
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! Let me tell you about Stillwater Pass in Colorado's Grand County. We're talking seriously high altitude here - 10,649 feet above sea level! This beauty splits the Never Summer Wilderness Area and the Arapaho National Forest.
Now, the road to the top is County Highway 4, and it's all dirt, baby! Expect it to be snowed in from late October until late June or early July. This isn't a Sunday drive either; expect some steep climbs and a surface that's seen better days. Think rocky in spots, and near the top you'll *definitely* want some ground clearance and a proper off-roader to deal with the boulders.
It's a 23.2 mile (37.33km) stretch from CO-125 to US-34 heading west-south. If it's dry, a high clearance 2WD should handle it, but honestly, why not bring something a little more capable for peace of mind? Get ready for some epic Rocky Mountain views!

hardWhere is Big Pine Death Valley Road?
🇺🇸 Usa
Get ready for a wild ride on the Big Pine Death Valley Road, deep in the heart of Death Valley National Park, California! This isn't your average Sunday drive—it's an adventure! Located in Inyo County, the road stretches for about 70 miles, connecting to Highway 168 near Zurich. It's a combo of Eureka Valley Road, Loretta Mine Road, and Waucoba Road, taking you through some seriously stunning desert landscapes. Heads up: this road can get snowy in winter, so pack those chains. And anytime of year, flash floods can cause washouts, so be prepared. Most of the road is unpaved, so expect a bumpy ride. The last stretch heading to Highway 168 is smooth pavement, but the rest is maintained gravel—think dust, washboard, and some rough patches thrown in for good measure. High-clearance vehicles are definitely recommended, especially after those infamous desert floods. This is one of Death Valley's more challenging backcountry routes. You'll climb to a whopping 7,657 feet above sea level. Remember, you're out in the boonies here, so come prepared! No services, possible large washouts in Eureka Valley and no camping is allowed. It's a desert out there, so make sure your car is ready. The scenery? Absolutely mind-blowing.
hardWhere is Blair Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, let's talk Blair Mountain! This epic pass punches through the Colorado Rockies in Garfield County, boasting a summit that kisses the sky at 11,469 feet. You'll find this gem nestled in the White River Plateau, part of the larger, wild Rocky Mountain range. It's northwest of Glenwood Springs, stretching across Rio Blanco and Garfield counties. Now, hold on tight, because Blair Mountain Road (Forest Road 601) is a 22.9-mile off-road adventure from #600 to Forest Road 301. Forget pavement—this is a rugged, rocky, and seriously steep dirt track. We're talking high clearance and 4x4 required! Being in the White River National Forest, this route hangs out above 10,000 feet for the *entire* time, peaking above 11,000 feet in sections. Translation? Winter hits hard and sticks around. Your best (and possibly only) window for a safe trip is mid-summer. But trust me, the views of the Flat Tops are worth the wait. Prepare to be blown away!

🇺🇸 Usa

This isn't your Sunday drive, folks. We're talking about an 11.7-mile trek north of Beatty that starts out pretty tame but quickly demands respect. A high-clearance vehicle is a must, and honestly, you'll be thanking your lucky stars if you've got four-wheel drive with low-range capability. Trust me, there's a section where you'll need it! But the challenge is SO worth it! This road winds through gorgeous pinyon pine woodlands as you climb into the Grapevine Mountains high country. The views alone are worth the dust and bumps.

moderateHurricane Ridge Road is Washington's Best Driving Road
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up, road-trippers, because Hurricane Ridge Road in Washington's Olympic National Park is calling your name! This 20-mile stretch of pure driving bliss climbs to a whopping 5,082 feet above sea level. Starting near Port Angeles, this totally paved beauty, sometimes called Heart o’the Hills Road, winds its way up into the heart of the Olympic Mountains. Think lush forests and breathtaking views – seriously, keep your camera handy! Give yourself around an hour to drive it straight through, but trust me, you'll want to stop and soak it all in. The road is steep, and you'll even pass through a few tunnels, making the journey super exciting. Now, a word of caution: Mother Nature rules up here! Always check the weather before you go. This area gets a TON of snow (over 400 inches a year!), and the road can close without warning. In winter, it's usually open weekends and holidays, but always double-check. Tire chains are a must in the winter months. As you climb nearly 5000 feet from Port Angeles, you'll see the plant life morph around you, a sign you're getting higher and higher. Get ready for some seriously epic scenery!
