Year-round
Okay, thrill-seekers, listen up! Magleby Pass in Utah's Sevier County is calling your name! This isn't your average Sunday drive, folks. We're talking a heart-pumping climb up to 10,551 feet above sea level!
Forest Road 068, as it's known, is a gravelly, rocky, and oh-so-bumpy adventure. Think of it as a massage for your off-roader. Trust me, you'll want that 4x4. Winter? Forget about it. This road laughs in the face of snow.
If unpaved mountain roads make you sweat, maybe grab a latte instead. This one's steep and narrow, and let's just say erosion has added a little *character* to the drive. Heights aren't your thing? Maybe stick to the beach. But for those who dare, the views are absolutely killer! Just keep your eyes on the road and off that phone! County Road 867 awaits!

hardIs the road to Baru Volcano unpaved?
🌍 Panama
Okay, adventure time! Let's talk about the road to Volcán Barú in Panama's Chiriquà Province. This dormant volcano sits way up high at 3,474m (11,398ft). The trek up, starting from David, is about 58.8km (36.53 miles) of mostly unpaved, rugged terrain. Seriously, you'll need a 4x4 for this one! It's called Volcancito Road or Camino Volcán Barú. Get ready for some serious twists and turns; this road will definitely test your driving skills (and your nerves!). The pavement gives way to a rough dirt track that climbs almost all the way to the summit. Why bother with the white-knuckle drive? Well, on a clear day, you can see *both* the Pacific Ocean *and* the Caribbean Sea from the top – how epic is that?! Just a heads up, the summit is covered in antennas, and it gets seriously cold. We're talking below freezing with possible frost, so pack accordingly! And yeah, this is a volcano, but it's been snoozing since around 1550 AD, so you're (probably) good.
