moderateWhere is Owl Creek Pass?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: Owl Creek Pass. We're talking serious Colorado vibes here, perched high in the Uncompahgre National Forest, right on the line between Ouray and Gunnison counties. This isn't your average Sunday drive though. You'll be cruisin' on County Road 8, a totally unpaved road. Clocking in at about 14.4 miles from the legendary Million Dollar Highway (US-550), it's a climb to 10,118 feet! Heads up: Mother Nature calls the shots up here. Usually, you can expect it to be closed from late October all the way through late June or even early July, depending on the snow. And even when it's "open," be ready for anything – snow, hail, thunderstorms, you name it! The road itself is generally a well-maintained gravel track. In dry conditions, most cars can handle it, but after a big rain, you might need AWD or 4WD to make it through the mud. RVs? Probably not a great idea. Expect tight turns and a steep climb, with gradients hitting 12% in places. From the Million Dollar Highway, you're gaining over 3,000 feet in elevation! But listen, the views are worth it! This drive is seriously scenic, with panoramic vistas that stretch on forever. Give yourself about an hour to soak it all in. Fun fact: John Wayne himself filmed scenes from *True Grit* and *How the West Was Won* here. Keep an eye out for those gorgeous old-growth aspens mixed with pine. And those red sandstone cliffs? Total photo gold, especially with the golden aspens in the fall!
hardRevelation Lift
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! If you're cruising around San Miguel County, Colorado and craving some serious altitude, you HAVE to check out the Revelation Lift road. We're talking about reaching a whopping 12,588 feet above sea level – that's Colorado high country at its finest! Heads up, though: this isn't your average Sunday drive. The road, snaking its way up through the Telluride Ski Resort, is a gravelly, rocky, and bumpy affair. You'll definitely want a 4x4 for this one! Be prepared for some steep climbs and, if you're not a fan of heights, maybe sit this one out. Mother Nature calls the shots here, so expect it to be closed from October to June (snow, duh!). Even in the summer months, be ready for the chance of a snowy surprise. And don't forget that the wind up here is no joke; it's pretty much a year-round phenomenon! The views, though? Totally worth it!
moderateWhere is Chicoma Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Alright, adventure seekers, let's talk Chicoma Mountain in New Mexico! This peak, a relic of a massive supervolcano northwest of Santa Fe, boasts some seriously stunning views. To get there, you'll want to take Forest Road 144, running from Cuba (Sandoval County) to Española (Rio Arriba County). This isn't your average Sunday drive – we're talking about 72 miles of high-elevation thrills, topping out at a whopping 11,164 feet! While the road is mostly unpaved, it’s generally well-maintained, but having good tires is always a smart move. Get ready for a journey through the heart of the Jemez Mountains, and some seriously unforgettable scenery.
moderateWhere is Keystone Peak?
🇺🇸 Usa
Arizona's Keystone Peak: An Off-Road Adventure! Way down in southern Arizona, southwest of Tucson, you'll find Keystone Peak topping out at 6,188 feet (1,886m). This area's got serious history, shaped by mining and ranching days. The peak itself is like a tech hub in the sky, packed with communication towers and buildings, but the 360-degree views are absolutely worth it! As you climb, keep an eye out for the old and active mines scattered across the hillsides. McGee Road, the main route up, is a well-maintained dirt fire road. It's perfect for hikers and off-roaders, winding through the Sierrita Mountains. It's generally an easy drive, though there are a few steep parts to keep things interesting. This road started as an old mining route, so you're basically driving through history. Expect a gate near McGee Ranch at the bottom. The climb averages a 4.8% grade over 10.2 miles (16.41km) from Mission Road, gaining 2,585 feet (788 meters). After it rains, the road can get tricky, even flooded in spots. While most of it is doable, a 4x4 is recommended for some sections. Heads up – drivers warn that your brakes can get HOT on the way down! Be careful!
