hardSitgreaves Pass in Arizona is a fabulous road if you are not scared of heights
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, thrill-seekers, listen up! Wanna ditch the boring interstate and inject some serious adrenaline into your next road trip? Then point your GPS towards Sitgreaves Pass in Arizona's Black Mountains! This isn't your average Sunday drive. We're talking about Oatman Road (aka Historic U.S. 66 W), a twisty, turning, 22-mile stretch of pure driving bliss (and maybe a little terror, if you're honest). Nestled between Kingman and Oatman, it's a climb to 3,595 feet with views that'll make your jaw drop... literally. The road itself? Let's just say it's intimate. Narrow lanes, hairpin turns that’ll test your steering skills, and zero shoulder to forgive mistakes. Oh, and those guardrails? Scarce! You'll be clinging to the side of the mountain with nothing but a few wooden posts and a flimsy chain between you and a serious drop. Keep an eye out for the rusted-out car wrecks serving as a warning for those who took a turn too hot. Expect a slow and steady pace. Some sections will have you crawling at 20mph, especially with that 12% gradient kicking in. Normal cars are fine, but big RVs? Proceed with EXTREME caution. Seriously, this isn't the place for them. And definitely skip it if the weather's dodgy or the sun's gone down. Allow at least 45 minutes without stops, but let's be real, you'll want to stop. There are plenty of pull-offs begging for photo ops, with glimpses of old mining ruins to add some historical flavor to the scenery. Just please, keep your eyes on the road while you're actually driving! Trust me, the white-knuckle drive is totally worth it for the bragging rights (and the incredible views). Get ready for an unforgettable adventure on Sitgreaves Pass!
extremeWhere is Sherman Peak?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so you're up for an adventure? Sherman Peak in California's Tulare County is calling! This beast of a peak sits pretty at 9,914 feet above sea level, tucked away north of Lake Isabella on the eastern edge of Sequoia National Forest. Forget pavement – you'll be bumping along Forest Service Road 33E48, a completely unpaved path that demands a 4x4. Seriously, don't even think about attempting this in anything less. It's a short but intense climb of just over 3 miles, but get ready for a leg-burning ascent! You'll gain over 2,300 feet in elevation, making for an average gradient of over 14%. Translation: it's STEEP! Plus, this road is a no-go in winter, so plan accordingly. While the summit's fire lookout days are gone, replaced by radio towers, the 360-degree views are absolutely worth the effort. Picture this: the Great Western Divide, the Sierra Crest, and miles of breathtaking scenery stretching as far as the eye can see. Get ready to soak it all in!
hardWhy is it called Hatchers Pass?
🇺🇸 Usa
Alright, fellow adventurers, let me tell you about Hatcher Pass! This beauty sits way up high in Alaska, clocking in at 3,886 feet above sea level. Named after the legendary prospector Robert Hatcher, this 60-mile route, also known as Hatcher Pass Road (or Fishhook Road if you're feeling local), connects Palmer and Willow with some serious mountain vibes. Picture this: the road starts paved from Palmer, but around mile 17.5, it turns to gravel for about 15 miles. Be warned – after it rains, this section can get pretty gnarly with ruts. Think switchbacks, the occasional pothole, and zero guardrails as you climb through the Mat-Su Valley. I wouldn’t recommend bringing your RV or anything too big, those hairpin turns are tight! Perched in the Talkeetna Mountains, Hatcher Pass sees snow early, so while it's usually open year-round, the last mile up to Independence Mine is typically closed in winter. That central gravel section? Snow usually shuts it down until around July 4th. It's remote, seriously remote. You won't find much in the way of services out there, so fuel up and pack accordingly! But trust me, the scenery is worth it. Just keep your eyes on the road!
extremeDriving the truly epic Big Pine Death Valley Road
🇺🇸 Usa
Ready for an epic desert adventure? The Big Pine Death Valley Road carves its way through the heart of Death Valley National Park in California's Inyo County. Just a heads up - you might find it closed after big storms. This wild ride stretches for about 70 miles (112 km), linking Ubehebe Crater Road to Highway 168, near the tiny town of Zurich. You'll be cruising along Eureka Valley Road, Loretta Mine Road, and Waucoba Road. Prepare to climb! You'll hit a max elevation of over 7,600 feet (2,334 meters). Winter can bring snow, so pack those chains. Flash floods can happen anytime, so be prepared for anything! Most of the road is unpaved, but the last stretch from Eureka Valley to Highway 168 is smooth sailing. This is the main backcountry route from Scotty's Castle to Owens Valley, a well-maintained gravel road that snakes through northern Death Valley and Eureka Valley. Keep an eye out for the turnoffs to Eureka Dunes and North Pass into Saline Valley. A high-clearance vehicle is a must if there's been flooding. Get ready for dust, washboard roads, and some bumpy bits. This is one of Death Valley's most challenging backcountry roads. Remember, this area is remote, so come prepared. Death Valley is known as the hottest, driest, and lowest National Park, so expect extreme conditions. The road's condition is always changing, depending on recent weather. Also important to know: there are no services along the way, and Eureka Valley can see some serious washouts. Camping is not allowed on this road.
