Year-round
Okay, buckle up, road trip lovers! Let's talk Antelope Pass in Arizona's Coconino County. This baby climbs to 6,151 feet, so expect some serious elevation gain. We're talking about 1,000 feet in just 3 miles – that's STEEP!
You'll be cruising along State Route 89A, and while it's paved, don't think it's gonna be a boring drive. There's this one section near Bitter Springs where the road literally hugs a cliff edge, doing this awesome zigzag thing. Super scenic, but keep your eyes on the road!
This 25.5-mile stretch runs between Bitter Springs and Lake Powell, and trust me, you'll want to stop at every lookout. The views are absolutely breathtaking.
Now, a word of warning: this road has some seriously narrow sections, and those curves are no joke. If you're in a big rig or hauling a trailer, be prepared to shift into low gear. And keep an eye out for falling rocks – they're a real possibility! Overall, it's a challenging but gorgeous drive.

moderateJersey Jim Lookout Tower
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! You NEED to check out Jersey Jim Lookout in southwest Colorado. Perched way up high in the San Juan National Forest, this epic lookout tower sits at almost 10,000 feet! The views? Unbelievable. Getting there is part of the fun. Road 561, the gravel road that takes you to the top, is generally open from late spring to mid-fall, depending on the snow. Good news: you don't need a fancy 4x4, most 2WD vehicles can handle it. Just take it slow (under 30 mph!), keep an eye out for cows and deer (this is their home, too!), and get ready for some seriously stunning scenery. Trust me, this hidden gem is worth the trek.
moderateWhere is McClellan Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so you wanna bag a peak in Colorado? Check out McClellan Mountain! This baby tops out at a cool 13,110 feet, making it one of the highest drivable spots in the state. You'll find it west of Georgetown, in the northern part of the state. The route up follows the old Argentine Central Railroad bed – a seriously impressive feat of engineering from way back in 1905. Get ready for six switchbacks where the train used to zigzag its way up the mountain. Now, listen up: this isn't a Sunday cruise. The road is 100% unpaved and rocky. You're gonna need a proper SUV with low-range to tackle this one. Expect tight switchbacks and some seriously challenging terrain. The first section, right off Guanella Pass Road, is probably the toughest part, so be ready for it. The whole thing is about 8.7 miles from the pavement of Guanella Pass Road, and you'll climb over 3,000 feet – that's an average gradient of around 7%! Best to hit this one in the summer, when the snow's gone. And the views? Totally worth it. Plus, you get to check out historic spots like the old railroad remains along the way. Epic!
moderateAdventure along Little Annie Road
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so you're heading to Colorado? You HAVE to check out Little Annie Road in Pitkin County! Seriously, this drive is pure magic. Tucked away in the White River National Forest, this 4.5-mile stretch of unpaved road (also known as County Road 15G) takes you on a wild ride. It's usually in pretty good shape, but you'll be cruising at high altitude the whole time, hitting a peak of 11,374 feet! Starting from paved County Road 15, it connects you to County Road 15E. Be warned: the 4x4 crowd loves this road, especially on weekends, so expect some company. But trust me, the views of Castle Creek Valley are worth it. Just a heads up, though – snow can linger up here until late June or even July, so plan accordingly!
hardMedicine Mountain
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, folks, picture this: you're in north-central Wyoming, Big Horn County to be exact, and you're itching for an adventure. Look no further than Medicine Mountain! This peak clocks in at a cool 9,970 feet, and the views? Absolutely insane! You'll be cruising on Forest Service Road 12, which is an unpaved road snaking up the mountain, so buckle up for a bumpy ride. Heads up: this road's usually snowed in from October to June, so plan your trip accordingly. Keep an eye out for that massive, spherical FAA radar dome – you can’t miss it! Once you conquer the climb, you're in for a treat. The summit offers panoramic vistas of the Big Horn Basin and the Absaroka Mountain Range. But the real gem? The Medicine Wheel! This ancient stone structure, crafted from local limestone, is a testament to the Plains Indians' ingenuity. This nearly 80 foot diameter wheel with its 28 alignments is thought to have been built between 300-800 years ago, and some say it was used to predict astronomical events. Pretty wild, right?
