Year-round
Hanson Peak is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 3.890m (12,762ft) above the sea level, located in San Juan County, in the U.S. state of Colorado. It’s
one of the highest mountain roads of Colorado.
The narrow road to the summit, located in the San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. It’s called Picayune Gulch Road (County Road 9). The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). It’s an old mining road. Along the way the trail passes historic mining structures. Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4x4 vehicle required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. Conditions can change rapidly, be careful of the weather. Access through snow can change daily. The summit offers excellent views in all directions.

hardWhere is Scotty's Castle Road?
🇺🇸 Usa
Ready for an off-the-beaten-path adventure? Head to the northern reaches of Death Valley National Park and find Scotty's Castle Road, also known as Bonnie Claire Road. Tucked away in the green oasis of Grapevine Canyon, this paved road is your gateway to the historic Scotty’s Castle, a stunning Spanish-colonial-revival villa. Stretching for about 41 miles (65.66km), the road cruises north-south from CA-190 all the way to the Nevada border. The sunrise views are incredible! Now, let's talk about the desert vibes. Death Valley is seriously hot! Pack tons of water, avoid hiking in the blazing sun, and stick to the paved roads during the summer months. No fuel is available at Scotty’s Castle, so fill up at Stovepipe Wells, Furnace Creek, or nearby towns in Nevada. Stay alert for critters like rattlesnakes and scorpions. During rainstorms, avoid canyons and be mindful of water on the roads. Cell service is spotty, so don't rely on your phone.
hardThe breathtaking road to Meridian Peak in CO
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventurers, listen up! Meridian Peak in Colorado is calling your name! Perched way up high on the border of Summit and Eagle counties, this spot hits an insane 12,432 feet above sea level. We're talking about Elliot's Ridge Road, a rugged, unpaved path up the west side of the ridge. Think old-school 4x4 vibes, deep in the heart of the Gore Range and Eagles Nest Wilderness. The climb kicks off from County Road 1831 and stretches for just over 6 miles. You'll gain around 1,263 feet in elevation. That's an average grade of nearly 4%! Fair warning: this road is usually snowed-in from late October until at least late June. But trust me, the panoramic views from the top of Meridian Peak are worth the wait.
hardDriving the challenging road to Hellroaring Plateau in Montana
🇺🇸 Usa
Montana's Hellroaring Plateau sits way up high at 9,908 feet, right in the heart of Carbon County. Seriously, this road isn't messing around – it's one of the highest you'll find in the whole state and a proper challenge for experienced drivers. Tucked away in southern Montana, practically hugging the Wyoming border inside the Custer Gallatin National Forest, you'll find it. Back in the 30s, they built this road to get to the chrome deposits up on the plateau. It's called Hellroaring Road (or Forest Service Road 2412/421 if you're feeling official). And heads up, it's all dirt. There's even an older, less-used road that keeps climbing past the main parking area, topping out at 10,862 feet! Now, this isn't your Sunday drive kind of road. Think rough, potholed, and rocky, with sections that squeeze down to a single lane – awkward when someone's coming the other way! And yeah, no guardrails. You're gonna want a high-clearance vehicle, like a truck or SUV. Winter? Forget about it. You'll probably only be able to drive it mid-summer when things dry out. But hey, the views are totally worth it! Starting from the Beartooth Highway (US-212), it's about 6.6 miles to the plateau. You'll climb 2,782 feet in that short distance, so buckle up for an average gradient of almost 8%.
moderateCoyote Flat is a steep rocky road for high clearance 4X4's in California
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, buckle up for Coyote Flat! This hidden gem, perched high in California's Inyo County, clocks in at a whopping 10,042 feet above sea level. We're talking serious altitude! Nestled within the Inyo National Forest, Coyote Flat isn't just any road; it's one of California's highest! Originally carved out as a mining road back in the '40s, this 16-mile unpaved beauty (aka Coyote Valley Road) kicks off near Bishop and throws you straight into the wild. Heads up: winter shuts this place down hard. Think late October to late June/early July impassable. So plan accordingly, and pack everything you need – there are zero services up here. But the views, oh the views! Think grazing deer, maybe even a glimpse of the majestic Palisade Glacier to the south. Keep your eyes peeled for coyotes, bears, and even elusive mountain lions! Now, let's talk terrain. Expect a steep and rocky ride, with some sandy sections thrown in for good measure. Most of the trail is manageable, but those rocky parts definitely require a high-clearance 4x4. As you climb out of Bishop, the road snakes through canyons and pine-covered ridges. Pro tip: if you're hitting this spot in mid-summer, mosquito repellent is your best friend.
