Year-round
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! Gold Strike Pass is calling your name! Nestled in Nevada's Clark County, within the stunning Lake Mead National Recreation Area (a hop, skip, and a jump from Vegas, baby!), this mountain pass sits pretty at 2,408 feet.
Forget the smooth asphalt—Goldstrike Pass Road is a 2.1-mile unpaved adventure. Think loose rock and dirt, hugging narrow ledges. Passing other vehicles can get a *little* cozy, so buckle up! Keep an eye on the weather, because Mother Nature loves throwing curveballs here. Washouts can happen when it's wet, and those blind corners on the ledge road? Keep your eyes peeled.
Get ready for an immediate climb with switchbacks that'll have you high above the highway and lake. Trust me, you'll want a stock SUV with high clearance for this one. And the reward? Killer views of the iconic Hoover Dam and the sprawling Lake Mead region. Seriously, your Instagram will thank you.

hardDriving the scenic Elk Mountain Summit Drive in Wyoming
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! Elk Mountain in Wyoming is calling your name! This beast of a peak clocks in at a whopping 11,171 feet, making it one of the highest drives in the state. You'll find it in Carbon County, about 7 miles from the town of Elk Mountain (named after a Sioux chief, how cool is that?). Now, here's the deal: this isn't your Sunday drive kinda road. We're talking totally unpaved, so your trusty 4x4 is a must. Starting near Rattlesnake Pass, the 8-mile trek to the top is STEEP – we're talking a maximum 15% gradient in places! Get ready to climb over 3,500 feet, with an average incline of 8.41%. The views from the top? Totally worth it. You're smack-dab in the Medicine Bow Mountains. Word to the wise: this road is usually snowed in from late October until almost July, so plan your trip accordingly. Oh, and there's a radio station broadcaster (KBDY) at the summit, for some extra interesting scenery. Happy trails!
moderateWhere is Old Dale Road?
🇺🇸 Usa
Ready for an off-road adventure in Joshua Tree National Park, California? Old Dale Road is a 25.9-mile dirt track that carves its way through the park's eastern section, from north to south. You'll find the starting point nestled inside Joshua Tree National Park, in Riverside County. From there, you'll rumble through the stunning Pinto Basin before venturing into the rugged Pinto Mountains, where the road magically morphs into Gold Crown Road. Finally, you'll pop out onto California Route 62, about 15 miles east of Twentynine Palms. Fair warning: this isn't your average Sunday drive. We're talking sharp rocks, deep sand, and some seriously tricky sections, especially as you cross the mountain range. A high-clearance 4x4 vehicle is a must! The road isn't maintained, so expect large, loose rocks and steep drop-offs. Keep in mind you're heading into a remote area, so no cell service. Grab your GPS, because it's easy to get turned around out there. And, honestly, two vehicles are safer than one, just in case. Without stops, budget around 1.5 to 2 hours for the drive. The best time to tackle Old Dale Road is between October and May. Summer heat is intense out here, as you're traversing both the Colorado and Mojave Deserts that make up Joshua Tree. You'll pass by relics of old mines dating back to the 1880s! Get ready for some seriously stunning desert scenery.
moderateCan you drive to the top of Whiteface Mountain NY?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: you're cruising through Essex County, New York, ready to conquer Whiteface Mountain, a beast of a peak towering at 4,599 feet! Word on the street is, the paved road to the top is the highest in the whole state. Yep, you can totally drive it! It's a toll road called the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway (aka NY 431), and it's been winding its way to the summit since '35. The road clocks in at just about 8 miles, starting in Wilmington. It's a slow and twisty climb that dumps you out at a parking lot near the top, from where you can hike or take an elevator to the tippy-top. Hold on tight, though, because this climb is *steep*. We're talking a max grade of 11% as you wind your way up the mountain, the fifth-highest in the Adirondacks. You'll gain over 3,500 feet from bottom to top, with an average gradient of over 8%. This beauty is only open from June through October, so plan accordingly. Without stopping, you could probably zip up in about 15 minutes. BUT. DON'T. You'll want to savor every single viewpoint along the way. Seriously, the last five miles are epic, as the road carves through a forest that changes as you gain altitude. And then, the summit! You'll find a castle made of stone, grub, souvenirs, and even an elevator that takes you to the very top. And the views? Unbelievable. 360 degrees of pure gorgeousness. On a clear day, you can peep the Green Mountains of Vermont, the skyscrapers of Montreal, and even the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
moderateWhy is the Eisenhower Tunnel famous?
🇺🇸 Usa
Cruising through Colorado, you absolutely HAVE to experience the Eisenhower Tunnel! Straddling the border between Summit and Clear Creek counties, this engineering marvel punches right through the Continental Divide, about an hour west of Denver, inside the Arapaho National Forest. Okay, so it's actually *two* tunnels: the Eisenhower Memorial Bore (completed in '73) and the Edwin C. Johnson Bore (finished in '79). Each one is about 1.7 miles long. Why is it so special? At a whopping 11,158 feet above sea level, this is one of the highest vehicular tunnels on the planet. Sure, construction was a beast (seriously, it took years and cost lives), but now you get to shave off 9 miles compared to braving the hairpin turns of Loveland Pass on U.S. Highway 6! The grade leading up to the tunnel is pretty steep, about 6-7%, so make sure your rig is ready for it. Oh, and heads up: HAZMAT vehicles have restrictions. The drive only takes about 5 minutes, but experiencing this feat of engineering, and soaking in the surrounding Rocky Mountain views, is totally worth adding to your Colorado road trip itinerary. Just be prepared for company – around 10 million vehicles make the trek each year!
