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!

hardWhere is Hull Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, thrill-seekers, listen up! Hull Mountain in California is calling your name! Perched right on the Mendocino/Lake County line, deep in the Mendocino National Forest, this peak hits an elevation of 6,863 feet. Getting there? It's an adventure! Hull Mountain Road (aka Forest Road M1) is a full-on unpaved, narrow beast. Seriously, you'll NEED a 4x4 to tackle this steep, rugged gravel path. Oh, and don't expect to Instagram the whole thing, because cell service is nonexistent. Heads up: this road is usually snowed in from October to June, and summer can bring some serious heat. Starting from the Eel River campground on Mendocino Pass Road, you're in for a 31.2-mile ride, climbing a whopping 5,344 feet! So, what's at the top? Well, the fire lookout tower is long gone, but the views? Totally worth it! On a clear day, you can see all the way north, spot the Sierras to the east, and soak in the gorgeous Mendocino National Forest peaks all around. Get ready for an unforgettable experience!
hardWhite Rim Road
🇺🇸 United States
# White Rim Road Picture this: a 161-kilometer unpaved loop that hugs the stunning Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park in Utah. You're perched on this incredible white sandstone shelf, literally sandwiched between two worlds—300 meters below the mesa top and 300 meters above where the Colorado and Green Rivers carve through the canyon floor below. This backcountry route is hands-down one of the most jaw-dropping desert drives you can do by vehicle anywhere in the American Southwest. What makes it so special? The landscape is absolutely wild. You're driving through layers of crimson and white sandstone with jaw-dropping cliff faces dropping off on either side as you wind your way around. One of the coolest sections is Musselman Arch—a natural rock bridge the road actually runs right through. Then there are those intense switchbacks on the Shafer Trail and Mineral Bottom Road that climb back up toward the rim. The views are relentless. Whether you're on a mountain bike (most people knock out the full loop in 3-4 days) or piloting a serious 4x4 (you can do it in 2-3 days), this is bucket-list terrain. The White Rim delivers that perfect blend of adrenaline and scenery that keeps people coming back.
moderateHow to get by car to Leman Lake in Banff National Park?
🇨🇦 Canada
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! I've got a secret to share: Leman Lake in Alberta, Canada. Picture this: a high-altitude beauty at almost 6,300 feet, nestled near the BC border in Banff National Park. The water? Crazy clear and blue, thanks to glacial silt – the colors are seriously intense! Getting there is half the fun (or half the challenge, depending on your perspective!). You'll be cruising on the Albert River Forest Service Road, also known as Leman Lake Trail. And let me tell you, it's unpaved. You'll absolutely need a 4x4 to tackle this one, and forget about it in the winter. The last 600 meters? Yeah, you're hiking. The whole trek from BC Highway 93 near Radium Hot Springs is about 44 miles. So pack your gear, grab your camera, and get ready for some seriously stunning views!
easyDiscovering the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike in Breezewood
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: you're cruising through Pennsylvania's forests and stumble upon a seriously cool piece of history. Just south-central of the state, near Breezewood, lies a 13-mile stretch of the original Pennsylvania Turnpike. We're talking about a relic from the 1940s, abandoned way back in 1968 when they needed to ease up tunnel traffic in the Appalachians. This isn't your average hike. You'll be trekking through what was once a bustling part of America's interstate system! It even features three tunnels! The Nature Conservancy owns it now, and motorized vehicles are a no-go, but cyclists are welcome. Just be smart – helmets and lights are a must to stay safe in those dark tunnels. What's super cool is that nature is taking over, making it a totally unique and scenic experience. Oh, and did I mention it was used for military exercises and turnpike worker training? Or that it was a filming location for "The Road" with Viggo Mortensen? Talk about a road with a story to tell!
