Year-round
Alright adventure junkies, listen up! If you're in southeastern Arizona, you HAVE to check out Mount Heliograph in Graham County. This beast clocks in at a whopping 10,039 feet above sea level. Seriously, it's one of the highest drives in the state!
Now, a word of warning: this ain't your average Sunday drive. The road, snaking through the Coronado National Forest, is a rugged mix of gravel and rock. Think gnarly, and you're on the right track. Winter? Forget about it, totally impassable. If you're not comfortable with unpaved mountain roads, maybe skip this one. Definitely need 4x4 for this trek. Heights a problem? Uh oh! Expect some seriously steep sections!
But hey, the reward is HUGE. At the summit, you'll find a cool fire lookout tower, built way back in 1934. The views? Let's just say they are absolutely killer! Get ready for panoramic vistas that will blow your mind. So, if you're up for a challenge and craving some serious scenery, Mount Heliograph is calling your name!

extremeCarretera Escenica (Acapulco)
🇲🇽 Mexico
Okay, picture this: you're cruising along the coast in Acapulco, Mexico, and the views of Acapulco Bay – they call it the "most beautiful bay in the world" – are seriously stunning. You've got Puerto Marques bay shimmering to one side, and Diamante's luxury resorts glittering in the distance. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, reality check. This 7-kilometer stretch is the *only* road connecting Acapulco to Diamante, so traffic is absolutely insane. Like, an hour to go just 7km insane. Add in constant road repairs and a few too many fender benders (and, yikes, whispers of more serious trouble), and it's definitely an *experience* to drive. This place is no joke — it's got a reputation as one of Mexico's most dangerous cities. It's a wild ride, but those coastal views *are* pretty epic.
hardOxford Peak
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! If you're hunting for a killer off-road experience in southeast Idaho, Oxford Peak is calling your name. We're talking a gnarly climb up to 9,288 feet in the Bannock Range, so buckle up. This isn't your Sunday drive; the road is gravel, rocky, and downright bumpy in spots. Translation: 4x4 is a MUST, and a healthy respect for heights is highly recommended. Expect some seriously steep sections and muddy conditions if it's been raining – you’ll definitely earn your stripes on this one. Keep in mind this trail is only open to smaller vehicles 50 inches or less in width. The views are absolutely insane, but this road is definitely for experienced off-roaders only. And a heads-up: winter usually shuts this bad boy down completely. Get out there and explore!
hardHagerman Pass is a beautiful, though not easy, drive in Colorado
🇺🇸 Usa
# Hagerman Pass Road: Colorado's High-Altitude Adventure Ready to tackle one of Colorado's most scenic high-altitude drives? Hagerman Pass sits pretty at 3,657 meters (11,998 feet) above sea level, right on the border between Pitkin and Lake counties. Named after James J. Hagerman, the railroad pioneer who built the Colorado Midland Railway, this mountain pass is legitimately one of the highest roads you can drive in Colorado. Located near Leadville in the Pike and San Isabel National Forests, this isn't technically a difficult route—but here's the catch: you'll absolutely want a 4x4 vehicle. Seriously, don't attempt this in a two-wheel drive. The 18.82-kilometer (11.7-mile) stretch from Turquoise Lake Road to Frying Pan Road is totally unpaved and includes rocky terrain, multiple stream crossings, and occasional fallen trees that can block your path. The road itself, Forest Road 105, is a rough-and-tumble adventure that partly follows the historic Colorado Midland Railroad line. You'll spot three abandoned railroad tunnels along the way, which is pretty cool. As you climb toward the summit, the road gets narrower with some gnarly rock ledges, muddy patches, and sandy sections—all navigable if you've got the right vehicle, but genuinely impassable for standard cars. The real payoff? Absolutely stunning scenery. This high mountain route opens in late May and stays accessible until the first major snowfall (usually late October or November). You'll get sweeping views of Turquoise Lake to the east and the Hunter-Fryingpan Wilderness to the southwest. There are tons of camping spots along the way and incredible photo opportunities—think panoramic vistas, alpine lakes, and brilliant fall colors. Block out plenty of time, bring your camera, and prepare yourself for an unforgettable Rocky Mountain experience.
