🇺🇸 Usa
Sensabaugh Tunnel is a tunnel surrounded by rumors of murder, death, and satanic rituals located in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It should be avoided at all costs. It is a place where demonic apparitions appear, car engines die, and the shrieks of eternally trapped women and babies echo. It’s one of the most haunted tunnels on Earth Where is Sensabaugh Tunnel? The tunnel is located in Hawkins County, Tennessee, near the Virginia border, just off Big Elm Road to the north of Kingsport. It is located not far from Rotherwood Mansion, in the foothills of East Tennessee. Locals feel that it is a place of evil. The tunnel carries the paved Sensabaugh Hollow Road. Is Sensabaugh Tunnel scary? The tunnel was constructed in the early 1920s. It sits in a state of clear disrepair, with cracks in the cement and graffiti everywhere. The surface of the tunnel is often slippery and wet. Driving inside the tunnel can be creepy, but that may be because it's, you know, a dark tunnel with creepy stories behind it. It’s one of the most famous haunted places in the area.

The story goes that a man named Mr. Sensabaugh lived with his family in a house near the tunnel. One day he went crazy and murdered them all, including his newborn baby, and threw their bodies into the creek in the tunnel. If you enter the tunnel and turn off your car engine, it supposedly will not restart. If you look into your rearview mirror, you will see Mr. Sensabaugh approaching your car.

extremeHow to get by car to Pinyon Peak lookout in Idaho?
🇺🇸 Usa
Alright, thrill-seekers, let’s talk Pinyon Peak in Idaho’s Custer County! This isn't your Sunday drive. We're talking about a seriously high mountain peak reaching a whopping 9,947 feet! Nestled deep within the Salmon-Challis National Forest, smack-dab in the middle of Idaho, getting to the top is an adventure in itself. Forget pavement; you'll be tackling the unpaved Pinyon Peak Loop Road (NF-172). This is a long, intense, and at times, grueling drive. A 4x4 isn't just recommended; it’s required! Remember, you're heading into the wild, so pack your common sense and survival skills. The loop clocks in at around 26 miles, stretching from Seafoam Road (NF-008) to Loon Creek Road. The final mile to the summit is a beast, with eight hairpin turns that will test your driving skills. Those switchbacks are seriously steep, so you'll be grateful for low range on the way down. But the reward? Unbelievable! Perched atop Pinyon Peak is the historic Pinyon Peak Fire Lookout Station, standing guard since 1930. And the views? Forget about it! You'll score unobstructed panoramas of the Eastern Salmon River Mountains, including iconic peaks like Mt. Baldy, Twin Peaks, the White Clouds, the Sawtooths, and even a glimpse of Borah Peak, Idaho's tallest, way off in the distance. Trust me, the bragging rights are worth it.
hardBenson Ridge
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Wanna conquer a seriously epic mountain pass? Then point your wheels towards Benson Ridge in New Mexico's Otero County. We're talking about a sky-high perch at 9,534 feet within the gorgeous Lincoln National Forest. Now, fair warning: this isn't your Sunday drive. Forest Road 223 (aka Dark Canyon Road) is a rugged beast of gravel and rocks. Translation? You absolutely need 4x4. Plus, it's a no-go zone in winter. Heights not your thing? Maybe skip this one, because it's a pretty steep climb. But if you're game for an off-road challenge with killer views, Benson Ridge is calling your name!
extremeA challenging 4wd trail to Webster Pass in Colorado
🇺🇸 Usa
Webster Pass: buckle up for an epic Colorado adventure! This high-altitude pass tops out at a whopping 12,103 feet! You'll find it nestled on the border between Summit and Park counties, right in the heart of the White River National Forest, smack-dab on the Continental Divide. The 9.14-mile road (aka Webster Pass Road #285) runs north-south, connecting Montezuma Road to County Road 60. Coming from I-70? Take Exit 205 for Silverthorne/Dillon, head east on HWY 6 towards Keystone, then turn right onto Montezuma Road (County Road 5) just past Keystone. Cruise for 7 miles to Montezuma, and Webster Pass Road will be on your left. Heads up, the summit also serves as the starting point for the infamous Red Cone trail! Originally a toll road built way back in the 1870s, Webster Pass usually opens around late May (depending on snowmelt) and closes around late November with the first snows. Prime time for a snow-free trip? Late August or early September. FYI, full-size vehicles need not apply. This totally unpaved road is a wild ride. Think super-narrow sections, river crossings, and super-steep switchbacks! A high-clearance 4×4 vehicle is a MUST. Even when conditions are good, towing a trailer is not recommended. Allow about 45 minutes each way for the trip. At the summit, you’ll hit the Red Cone and Handcart Gulch trails. That Red Cone descent is seriously steep – experts only! Otherwise, turn around and head back down Webster Pass. The views? Incredible! You'll wind through open alpine terrain with stunning Continental Divide scenery. Plus, there are plenty of opportunities to explore other 4WD roads nearby. It’s a thrilling ride with breathtaking scenery all along the Snake River. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure!
