Year-round
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! If you're looking for a seriously epic Idahoan experience, Feltham Creek Point is calling your name. We're talking about a sky-high summit in the Salmon River Mountains, Custer County, hitting a whopping 9,002 feet! This isn't your average Sunday drive, folks.
You'll be tackling the Pinyon Peak Loop Road, a gnarly gravel track that's rocky, tippy, and bumpy – basically, a 4x4 playground. This baby's buried under snow most of the winter, so plan your trip accordingly. Trust me, this trail is best left to the experienced off-roaders. If you're not a fan of heights or unpaved mountain roads, maybe grab a coffee and wave goodbye. But if you're up for a steep climb and mind-blowing views, this is your jam. Just a heads-up: wet conditions can turn the road into a muddy challenge. Get ready for some serious wheeling and unforgettable scenery!

hardStonehouse Road
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so Stonehouse Road in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area is a fun little detour if you're in Nevada and have a decent rig. We're talking a gravel track that's short but sweet, perfect for a quick off-the-beaten-path adventure. The gravel can get pretty loose, especially near the edges, so keep your speed down and watch out for oncoming traffic. You'll spot the namesake stone house about halfway along. The road winds its way over some nice, smooth, rolling hills and through gentle canyons. Most of the time, you probably won't need four-wheel drive, but there are a couple of spots where it definitely comes in handy, and high clearance will save you from some scrapes. Just a heads up, the weather here can be intense and change in a heartbeat. Plus, it gets ridiculously hot in the summer, so if your vehicle tends to overheat, you might want to think twice about tackling this one during those months.
extremeWhere is San Antonio Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure-seekers, listen up! You HAVE to check out San Antonio Mountain in northern New Mexico. Nestled in the Carson National Forest, this bad boy tops out at 10,941 feet! The road to the summit? Forget pavement – it's all about that sweet, sweet dirt (Forest Road 418 to be exact). Seriously, you're gonna need a 4x4 for this one. It's a climb, with some seriously steep parts and ten – count 'em, TEN – hairpin turns to keep you on your toes. Clocking in at just over 4 miles from US Highway 285, you'll gain a whopping 2,500 feet in elevation! That's an average gradient of 11.5%, so get ready to work for those views. Speaking of views, you're in the San Juan Mountains, part of the Rockies, so expect stunning scenery. Just a heads up, though: winter up here is no joke. This road is usually impassable, so plan your trip for the warmer months. And be sure to check out the comms facilities at the very top!
hardWhere is Trail Peak?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Deep in Idaho's Lemhi County, waiting to test your mettle, is Trail Peak. This bad boy climbs way up there, making it one of the highest drives in Idaho. Forget manicured highways—this is a rugged, unpaved mining road from a bygone era, about 7.8 miles of pure, unadulterated challenge. Think rocky terrain, and almost no smooth patches at all. We're talking steep drops, no maintenance, and zero cell service. A tow truck bill would probably bankrupt you. Seriously, a lapse in concentration could have serious consequences. But oh, the views! As you grind your way up 3,560 vertical feet (with an average gradient of 8.64%), you'll be following in the footsteps of prospectors. The summit area was a hive of mining activity from the 1880s to the 1920s, yielding gold, silver, copper and lead. You'll spot remnants of Idaho's mining history all around you. To conquer Trail Peak, you absolutely NEED a 4x4, beefy all-terrain tires, and skid plates are highly recommended. And one more thing: this road is totally snowed under in the winter, so plan your trip for the warmer months!
