Year-round
Okay, picture this: you're in Colorado, heart of the Rockies, Gunnison County to be exact. You're itching for an adventure, right? Well, point your rig towards Mount Owen in the Ruby Range. This peak sits at a cool 11,620 feet, and getting there? It's a *trip*.
The road's a real old mining track, so expect gravel, rocks, and a whole lotta bump and tippy action. Seriously, you'll need a 4x4 for this one. If you're not comfortable on unpaved mountain roads, maybe skip this. But if you're an experienced wheeler looking for a challenge, this is your jam.
Heads up though, this road is typically snowed in from October to June, so plan accordingly. But when it's open? The views are insane. You'll be smack-dab in the Gunnison National Forest, surrounded by some of the most epic scenery Colorado has to offer. Trust me, the climb is worth it.

hardDriving through the scenic Monarch Pass in Colorado
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, road trip enthusiasts, let's talk about Monarch Pass! This Colorado gem straddles Gunnison and Chaffee counties in the heart of the Rockies and tops out at a cool 11,312 feet. You'll be cruising on U.S. Highway 50, a fully paved road stretching for about 59 miles between Gunnison and Poncha Springs. Built back in the late 30s, this road isn't for the faint of heart. Expect some serious climbs and descents (we're talking 7% grades!), so downshift and take it easy. Watch out for tight turns, steep sections, and those infamous drop-offs – but don't worry, runaway truck ramps are there for emergencies! And keep an eye out for bears! Speaking of climbs, the one from Maysville is a doozy – 10.4 miles with a 3,000-foot elevation gain! Give yourself about an hour to soak it all in, plus extra time for photo ops (trust me, you'll want them!). The views are seriously epic, especially of the Sawatch Range. It's no wonder they filmed part of "Fast and Furious 7" here! At the summit, you'll find a gift shop and restaurant to refuel. If you are feeling adventurous, there's a minor gravel road at the summit that climbs to 11,922 feet above sea level. Monarch Pass is usually open year-round, but Colorado winters can be intense. Expect heavy snow and potential closures during storms. Oh, and heads up – this area holds the state record for wind gusts! Thunderstorms are common too. Regulars might not even notice the sign for Old Monarch Pass Road near the summit.
moderateWhere is Whitmore Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up adventurers, because Whitmore Mountain in Okanogan County, Washington is calling! We're talking a climb to 3,940 feet with killer views of the Coulee area, sparkling Omak Lake, and the rugged North Cascades. You'll find this gem in north-central Washington, chilling on the southwestern edge of the Colville Indian Reservation. At the very top, a fire lookout awaits, staffed during the summer – perfect for soaking in those panoramic vistas. Now, for the nitty-gritty: the 10.5-mile road from Columbia River Road to the summit is all dirt! Expect some steep sections and hairpin turns that'll definitely test your driving skills. And heads up – road conditions can change in a heartbeat. That clay can get crazy slick when it's wet, so 4x4 is a must. One last thing: this road is completely closed during winter. But trust me, those views are worth the wait!
easyWhere does the Palisades Parkway start and end?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: you're cruising down the Palisades Interstate Parkway, straddling the New Jersey/New York state line. It's pure Americana, with seriously stunning views of the Hudson River. This baby's about 38 miles long, a sweet ride from the George Washington Bridge all the way up to where US 6 and US 9 meet near the Bear Mountain Bridge. Built way back in '58 and given a major glow-up in 2014, it's even on the National Register of Historic Places! About 11 miles of the parkway hug the Jersey side, while the other 27 snake through New York. It's named after the Palisades cliffs, and the designers really went all out, with divided lanes, stone-faced bridges, grassy shoulders, lush landscaping, and tons of breathing room. And the views? Killer. Make sure to stop at the Rockefeller, Alpine, and State Line Lookouts. You'll cross over 13 bridges, all while sharing the road with over 60,000 other vehicles *daily*. Heads up, though: this parkway is strictly for passenger cars and motorcycles. No trucks, trailers, RVs, or anything with commercial plates allowed. And if you're rolling with a bus or a group of 15 or more, you'll need a permit. But if you're just looking for a smooth, scenic cruise, the Palisades Parkway is calling your name.
moderateWhere are the Gilman tunnels?
🇺🇸 Usa
Tucked away in northern New Mexico’s Jemez Mountains, in the USA, the Gilman Tunnels, blasted out of the rock in the 1920s, were originally used for a logging railroad and are quite high. The tunnels have been the filming locations of many Hollywood hits. Where are the Gilman tunnels? The tunnels, also known as Jemez tunnels, are located near the town of Jemez Springs, in Sandoval County (New Mexico), on the Jemez Ranger District of the Santa Fe National Forest. Can you drive through Gilman tunnels? The road through the tunnels is called State Highway 485. The winding road is entirely paved but very narrow with sharp and blind curves. This road has an excellent surface, grades are moderate, and traffic is very light (heavier on summer weekends). On the far side of the tunnels, the road turns into the gravel Forest Service Road 376. Not recommended for passenger vehicles. Are Gilman Tunnels open? This road is usually closed due to snow and poor road conditions from Dec 15 to April 15. Snow often remains in the area until late April or early May until the spring and summer heat dries things out. It can be closed due to falling rocks and debris anytime. No phone reception out there. Why were the Gilman tunnels built? The route was part of the former Santa Fe Northwestern Railway (SFNW). It was used in the early 1900s to haul lumber from the Jemez. The railroad never fully recovered from the Great Wall Street Crash of 1929 and ceased operations in 1941 following flood damage from the Guadalupe River. The railway was eventually retired, which allowed the tunnels to be converted into one of New Mexico’s most photogenic and interesting stretches of road. They were named after William H. Gilman (one-time CEO of the SFNW Rail Road). Is the road through Gilman tunnels worth it? This is a remarkable road trip. Remember to bring your camera. It’s a two old large stone logging rail tunnel perched high above the Guadalupe River, offering stunning views of the box canyon and Jemez . After the second tunnel, you will find a beautiful waterfall and many rocks to climb around and rest on. This beautiful loop drive from the Elk Mountain Lodge is a must-do. This roadside attraction offers stunning views, both of the tunnels themselves and also of the beautiful box canyon and the Guadalupe River below. The Gilman Tunnels were used in the filming of at least three Hollywood movies: 3:10 to Yuma (2007), The Lone Ranger (2013), and The Scorch Trials (2015).
