Okay, adventurers, listen up! If you're anywhere near Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, and you've got a hankering for some serious altitude, you NEED to check out Kiowa Mountain. We're talking a peak that punches through the sky at 9,734 feet!
Now, the road up – Forest Road 110A – is where things get interesting. Picture this: a gravel and rocky climb that'll put your 4x4 to the test. Seriously, leave the sedan at home. This road is a no-go in winter, and if unpaved mountain roads aren't your thing, maybe skip this one. It's pretty steep in places, and not for the faint of heart, especially if you're not a fan of heights!
But trust me, the views are SO worth it. Plus, at the summit, you'll find a fire lookout tower. The base cabin was built back in 1935, and it's still in use! Just a heads up – keep an eye on the weather. Thunderstorms and lookout towers? Not a good mix. Stay safe and happy trails!

🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: You're cruising through Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah, heading towards Rainbow Point. This isn't just any drive; it's the furthest south you can go by car in the park, and trust me, it's worth every mile. We're talking about UT-63 S, a paved road that climbs pretty steeply up to 9,124 feet above sea level. The views? Absolutely unreal. The road itself is a blast to drive—think twists, turns, and stunning panoramas of the entire National Park. Starting from UT-12, the journey is about 20.6 miles to the top, where you'll find a huge parking lot and views that stretch on for days. On a clear day, you'll be rewarded with unbelievable vistas of Bryce Canyon's famous rock formations and the Pink Cliffs. Keep your eyes peeled for both the official viewpoints and those little unofficial spots that offer a unique perspective. It's a driving experience that will leave you breathless, in the best way possible.
hardHow long is Morgan Territory Road?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up, thrill-seekers, because Morgan Territory Road in Contra Costa County, California, is calling your name! Nestled east of Mount Diablo in the San Francisco East Bay, this 14.7-mile ribbon of asphalt winds its way from Marsh Creek Road up to Manning Road. Don't let the "paved" description fool you – this baby is a wild ride! Picture this: tight, twisting turns, a road that narrows unexpectedly, and a climb that tops out at 2,129 feet. Be warned: the pavement on the north side of the summit has seen better days! Beyond the driving challenge, Morgan Territory Road has some serious local lore. Legend has it that the infamous bandit Joaquin Murrieta (the real-life Zorro!) stashed his loot somewhere in these hills back in the 1800s. And guess what? People still claim to see a ghostly figure searching for it near a certain oak tree. So, keep your eyes peeled for more than just potholes—you might just spot a ghost (or some hidden treasure!). This road, named for pioneer Jeremiah Morgan, offers stunning scenery and a dose of the supernatural!
hardWhere is Brasstown Bald?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: you're cruising through the northeast Georgia mountains, headed towards Brasstown Bald. This beauty sits right on the line between Towns and Union counties and is Georgia's highest point, clocking in at 4,784 feet! You can totally drive to the top, just hop on Georgia State Route 180 Spur. Keep in mind that the road is paved but super steep. And there's a little gravel section where another trail crosses, just to keep you on your toes! The climb is just about 3 miles from the Georgia 180 junction. Speaking of steep, get ready for an average grade of 11.2%! You'll be gaining over 1,800 feet in a short amount of time. Once you're up there, you're in for a treat. Brasstown Bald is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains inside the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests. At the top, a five-story lookout tower awaits, along with an 8,000 sq ft museum packed with interactive exhibits. You can see four states: Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. And if you get lucky, the Atlanta skyline is visible. Just be aware that the mountain's weather can be super unpredictable. Fog, mist, and storms can roll in out of nowhere, so check conditions before you head up. If the weather's bad, the gates will be closed.

🇺🇸 Usa
Alright, thrill-seekers, listen up! Saxon Mountain, nestled in Colorado's Clear Creek County just north of Georgetown, is calling your name... if you dare. This beast of a road clocks in at 7 miles (11 km) of pure adrenaline, snaking its way up to a staggering 11,463ft (3.494m) elevation. Built back in the day for a tramway that never quite materialized, this climb isn't for the faint of heart. We're talking a seriously steep average gradient of 8.17% and spots pushing a whopping 14%. The road gains 899 meters in elevation via 23 switchbacks. Picture this: tight corners, cliff edges that demand respect, and a rocky, bone-jarring ride that'll put your 4x4 (a must!) to the ultimate test. Keep your eyes peeled for rock slides, especially after a good downpour. Boulders can and do make surprise appearances on the road. Is it worth the white knuckles? Absolutely! The views are legendary. We're talking panoramic vistas of Georgetown, the I-70 corridor, and the majestic Mt. Evans. The summit rewards you with an even wider perspective, showcasing Mt. Evans and the Continental Divide. Plus, history buffs will geek out over the old mining remnants and log cabins scattered around. Word of caution: this trail is currently closed due to safety concerns. Proceed with caution if things change. Check conditions and be prepared for an extreme experience. November to May? Forget about it – this road is snowed under.
