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!
