Year-round
Okay, buckle up, adventure seekers, because Estes Mountain in central Idaho's Custer County is calling! This peak tops out at a breathtaking 9,514 feet, making it one of Idaho's highest drives.
The road? Let's just say it's not for the faint of heart. Think gravel, rocks, bumps, and a whole lotta tippy moments. Winter? Forget about it – impassable is the word. Experienced off-roaders will be in heaven though! Definitely bring your 4x4, and maybe your courage, because this trail is steep, with hairpin turns aplenty. Oh, and heights? Yeah, you'll be seeing some serious drop-offs. Watch out for wet conditions that can turn the road into a muddy challenge.
Keep your eyes peeled for old mines all the way to the top, remnants of the area's gold-rush history dating back to the 1800s. You'll find a parking area near the summit. Get ready for some seriously stunning scenery!

moderateHoosier Pass in Colorado: enjoy a drive among the clouds
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: you're cruising along Colorado State Highway 9, winding your way up Hoosier Pass. This baby sits way up there at 11,542 feet, right on the Park and Summit County line, west of Denver. Seriously, the views are insane! This paved road is a real treat – smooth sailing on the south side, but get ready for some switchbacks and a punchy 8% grade as you head north. It's about 21.4 miles from Breckenridge to Fairplay, so buckle up for a scenic ride. Word to the wise: this pass is usually open year-round, but Colorado winters can be wild, so keep an eye on the weather. Most cars can handle it, but snowstorms can shut things down. Now, for the adventurous souls! Just west of the paved pass, a rugged dirt road (Trail #2) climbs even higher to a whopping 12,112 feet. We're talking four-wheel-drive territory here, folks. All-wheel drive just won't cut it. The payoff? Unbelievable views of those jagged Rocky Mountains. Charge your camera, you'll thank me later! This is one of the highest roads in the state, and trust me, it's an unforgettable experience.
hardWhat is the Arctic Circle Road?
🌍 Greenland
Okay, picture this: Greenland, wild and untamed. You're bumping along the Arctic Circle Road, a roughly 170-kilometer (106-mile) gravel track slicing through the raw landscape, connecting the inland hub of Kangerlussuaq to the coastal town of Sisimiut. This isn’t your average Sunday drive; forget sedans, this route is strictly 4x4s, ATVs, and in the winter, snowmobiles! Why build it? Simple: to connect people and open up possibilities. Imagine fresh fish from Sisimiut speeding to Kangerlussuaq Airport, ready for European markets – a way faster trip than shipping frozen fish by sea! Plus, easier access to goods from Denmark? Yes, please! But it’s not just about logistics. This track is an adventure playground. Think hiking, fishing, hunting, and off-road thrills, with easier access to the Greenland Ice Sheet from Sisimiut. Building this wasn't easy. We're talking mountains up to 500 meters high, a whole lotta rock blasting, and new mines just to get construction materials. Permafrost? That means the ground is constantly shifting. Oh, and everything had to be shipped in by sea or air, with only a few summer months to actually work. Who uses it? Adventurers, tour guides leading 4x4 expeditions, locals getting around, and those crucial fish exporters. When can you drive it? Expect about eight months of the year when wheeled vehicles are possible. Summer (accessible by 4x4) can be muddy with river crossings and varying surface quality. Winter? Snowmobiles are your only option through the heavy snow. Don't expect to be dodging traffic, though. Projections estimate around 1,600 vehicles annually, peaking at maybe 35 road vehicles and 15 ATVs per day during the high season. It's remote, rugged, and utterly unforgettable!
hardA wild 4x4 road to Teddys Peak in CO
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! If you're craving a serious dose of Colorado high country, you NEED to check out Teddys Peak. This unpaved beast of a road tops out at a whopping 12,066 feet, straddling Costilla and Huerfano counties in southern Colorado. Tucked away in the Culebra Range of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, inside the San Isabel National Forest, this isn't your Sunday drive kind of road. We're talking rough and rugged terrain that demands a 4WD vehicle with some decent clearance. Be ready for some steep climbs, too – there are sections hitting an 11% grade! Keep in mind that Mother Nature calls the shots up here. Expect the road to be closed from around November due to heavy snow. Even in the summer months, don't be surprised if you run into a bit of the white stuff. But trust me, the panoramic views of the surrounding valleys, plains, and forests from the summit are totally worth it. Get ready to have your breath taken away!
moderateA dangerous road with breathtaking views to Gates Pass in Arizona
🇺🇸 Usa
Gates Pass, nestled in Arizona's Pima County, is a must-see if you're near Tucson. This pass, sitting pretty at 3,179 feet, is more than just a shortcut through the Tucson Mountains — it's a scenic adventure! This 4.8-mile stretch of paved road, aptly named Gates Pass Road, links Tucson to Kinney Road, and let me tell you, it's popular! Expect to share the road with around 3,000 cars a day, all eager to soak in the views. Now, a word of caution: Gates Pass isn't for the faint of heart. It's got some seriously steep sections, hitting a max gradient of 13%! The road's narrow, winding, and hugs the mountain's edge, offering more than a few heart-stopping moments with those drop-offs. That's why bigger rigs (over 40-50 feet) and commercial vehicles aren't allowed. Some folks opt for the Ajo Road route to avoid the thrills, but where's the fun in that? Speaking of thrills, the views are insane! The desert scenery is unlike anything you've seen, and sunset here? Legendary! Pull over at one of the scenic overlooks and watch the sky explode with color. Trust me, this is a photographer's paradise, especially during those late summer thunderstorms. Saguaros dot the steep slopes, creating a classic desert landscape. While Gates Pass is gorgeous any time of day, sunrise and sunset are when it truly shines. Cruise up into Tucson Mountain Park, park the car, and let those panoramic desert views take your breath away.
