Year-round
Okay, road trip fans, let's talk James Ridge! This high-altitude gem sits way up in Otero County, New Mexico, clocking in at 8,612 feet above sea level. You'll find it nestled within the gorgeous Lincoln National Forest.
The road itself, known as 16 Springs Canyon Road, is gravel and generally in pretty good shape. Most of the time, it's a smooth and easy cruise. But, and this is a BIG but, things can get dicey if it's been raining. Think mud, think slippery, and sometimes even impassable conditions. So, check the weather before you go. The reward for the climb? A killer lookout tower at the summit with views for days!

hardWhere is Guardsman Pass?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so you're in Utah and looking for a scenic drive? Let me tell you about Guardsman Pass! This beauty sits high in the Wasatch Mountains, right on the border between Salt Lake and Wasatch counties, east of Salt Lake City. You'll cruise along Guardsman Pass Scenic Backway (aka Guardsman Pass Road or Utah 190 West) for about 24 miles, connecting Cottonwood Heights and Park City. Good news – you can totally do it in a regular car! And even better news, it's paved! Word of warning though: being up at 9,740 feet, it's usually closed during the winter months because of the snow. Aim for late May/June to October. But even in summer, watch the weather – a big storm can make things dicey. The drive is full of curves and some seriously steep parts, especially if you're heading up from Park City. That climb is about 7 miles, gaining over 2,600 feet, with an average gradient of 7.1%. It's a good one! Is it worth it? Absolutely! Plan for about an hour each way, *without* stops. There's parking and bathrooms at the top. But trust me, you'll want to stop! The views are incredible, especially in the fall when the aspens are bursting with orange and yellow and the oaks are radiating red. Pack a picnic, bring your camera, and enjoy the ride! Oh, and heads up, it's one of Utah's highest roads!
extremeHow Long is Racetrack Valley Road?
🇺🇸 Usa
Racetrack Valley Road, way up in northern Death Valley National Park, California, is a total thrill ride! If you've got a trusty 4x4 with good tires and decent clearance, get ready to tackle one of Death Valley's most epic backcountry adventures. Clocking in at just over 29 miles, this dirt road is no joke. It's usually pretty well-maintained, but be warned: it's seriously washboarded in sections. The sign at the start isn't kidding about needing 4-wheel drive, and you'll definitely want a full-sized spare tire. High-clearance vehicles with beefy tires are ideal, but if you're a careful driver, some say you can even navigate it in a standard sedan. Just keep in mind that Death Valley summers are brutal, so plan accordingly. Washouts and winter snow can also make the road impassable. Always check the latest conditions at the Visitor Center or Grapevine Ranger Station because the weather here is wildly unpredictable. And if you start feeling dizzy, nauseous, or headache-y, find some shade and chug some water! Desert winds can kick up some serious dust storms, especially in the spring. Cell service is spotty, so don't rely on your phone. But the sunrise views? Absolutely breathtaking! Racetrack Valley, nestled between the Cottonwood and Last Chance Ranges, is famous for its sailing stones on a dry lakebed. Whatever you do, don't walk on the playa when it's wet, and driving on it is a major no-no. These stones, made of dolomite and syenite, mysteriously glide across the surface, leaving cool trails behind them. Remember, Death Valley holds the record for the hottest air temperature ever recorded, a scorching 134°F (57°C)! So, be prepared for extreme conditions. Drink gallons of water, avoid hiking during peak heat, and if your car breaks down, stay put and wait for help. Obey speed limits, use lower gears going downhill, and buckle up! Watch where you step—rattlesnakes, scorpions, and black widow spiders love to hide. Flash floods are a real risk, so stay out of canyons when it rains and head for higher ground if needed. And seriously, don't go exploring any old mine tunnels – they're unstable and dangerous. Cell signal is unreliable. For emergencies, dial 911. Backpackers, come prepared and let someone know your plans. Grab a free backcountry permit from any visitor center if you're backpacking.
hardInner Basin
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, let's talk Inner Basin in Arizona's Coconino County! We're talking serious altitude here – almost 10,000 feet! This isn't your Sunday drive. The road to the top, nestled in Coconino National Forest, is a real 4x4 challenge. Think gravel, rocks, and some seriously uneven terrain. Winter? Forget about it – this road is usually snowed in. But if you've got the skills and the right vehicle, especially in the fall, the views are *insane*. Just be warned, it's steep and can get muddy, so maybe skip it if heights aren't your thing or you're not comfortable on unpaved mountain roads. Trust me, though, if you're up for it, this is an Arizona adventure you won't forget!
hardPegleg Mountain
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! If you're in Lassen County, California, and itching for a thrill, Pegleg Mountain is calling your name. This bad boy tops out at 7,106 feet! The road up there? Let's just say it's not for the faint of heart. Think gravel, rocks, and a whole lotta steepness. Definitely needs a 4x4 and some serious off-road skills. Winter? Forget about it – this road is a no-go zone when the snow flies. And if heights make your palms sweat, maybe grab a postcard instead. But, oh the views! Trust me, they're worth the white-knuckle drive. And up top, you'll find a fire lookout tower, perfect for soaking in the panoramic vistas. Get ready for an unforgettable climb!
