Year-round
Alright, thrill-seekers, let’s talk about Elk Camp Summit in Pitkin County, Colorado! We're talking serious altitude here – 11,348 feet!
This isn't your average Sunday drive. Elk Camp Road is a rocky, gravel path, and it's actually a service road for a chairlift. Translation: steep! Think loose stones, and as you climb, it gets even steeper and rockier.
Timing is everything – you’ve got a tiny window in late summer (think late August) to tackle this beast. Be prepared for wind – it's almost always howling up there. Seriously, even in summer, you could get a surprise snow day. Winter? Forget about it, it’s brutally cold. Oh, and did I mention the 30% inclines on some parts? This ski-station service road is definitely a challenge, but the views at the top? Totally worth it!

hardSola de Vega Road
🇲🇽 Mexico
Okay, buckle up for the Sola de Vega road, also known as Mexico 131 or the Oaxaca-Puerto Escondido highway! This isn't just a drive; it's an *experience*. Think twisty mountain roads for over six hours, taking you through cute villages (watch out for those speed bumps!), and offering incredible views of the Sierra Madre. Word to the wise: if you get carsick easily, maybe skip this one. It's a popular route connecting Oaxaca to the beaches of Puerto Escondido, which means a lot of traffic on a fairly narrow road. Expect hairpin turns, steep climbs and descents – using your engine to brake is highly recommended. You'll climb to 2,180 meters near Sola de Vega before dropping all the way down to sea level at the coast. Good news: there's a new highway (Mexico 131D) in the works that should offer an alternate route, but for now, this is the way to go!
hardRabbit Peak
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! If you find yourself in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, and you're craving a real thrill, check out Rabbit Peak. We're talking serious altitude here—2,640 meters (8,661 feet) of pure mountain air. Now, getting to the top isn't a Sunday drive. The road is gravel and rocky, and trust me, you'll want a 4x4 for this one. Winter? Forget about it; this road laughs in the face of snowplows. If unpaved roads make you nervous, maybe grab a postcard instead. Oh, and heights? Yeah, there are some drop-offs that'll make your palms sweat. Be prepared for some seriously steep sections, but the views? Absolutely worth it.
extremeThe narrow shelf road to Radical Hill in Colorado is a nerve-wracking challenge
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, thrill-seekers, listen up! Radical Hill in Colorado's Summit County is calling your name... if you're brave enough! This beast of a mountain pass sits at a whopping 12,618 feet above sea level and is NOT for the faint of heart. We're talking serious pucker-factor. Located near Montezuma, west of Webster Pass, this 7.1-mile unpaved trail throws everything it has at you: massive rocks, a super narrow shelf road that will have you clinging to the edge, and switchbacks that are steep, tight, and will test your driving skills to the max. Seriously, one wrong move and you're likely rolling. This isn't your Sunday drive. You'll need an aggressive stock SUV, low range, and skid plates are a must. Only experienced drivers should even think about attempting this. The best time to tackle Radical Hill? Late August or early September for the best chance of clear conditions. Otherwise, expect snow. Be warned: this road is rocky with loose climbs, off-camber sections, and a final ascent that's eroded and unforgiving. If you're afraid of heights or rough roads with major drop-offs, this might be a little intense. But hey, if you can handle it, the reward is HUGE. The summit is surprisingly flat with plenty of parking, so you can soak in the incredible panoramic views. You'll spot Webster Pass, Handcart Peak, Teller Mountain, and loads of relics from Colorado's mining past. It's a tough climb, but the scenery is totally worth it!
moderateWhere is Lost Trail Pass?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, road trippers, buckle up for Lost Trail Pass! This epic paved stretch of U.S. Highway 93 straddles the Idaho/Montana border, clocking in at around 26 miles (42 km). You'll be cruising at a cool 7,030 feet (2,143 meters) above sea level, starting near Sula, Montana, and winding your way down towards Gibbonsville, Idaho. The name? It comes from way back when Lewis and Clark got a little turned around in these parts – hence, "Lost Trail." This beauty is usually open year-round, but heads up: winter can throw some serious snow and ice your way, buried deep in the Bitterroot Mountains. Always check conditions before you go. And keep your eyes peeled – this area's packed with incredible mountain views!
