Year-round
Want to trade city life for ocean breezes? The Barranca de Beltrán roads (that's both Mexico 54D and the OG Mexico 54) are your ticket from Guadalajara to the Pacific paradise of Manzanillo (and Colima, too!).
The real showstopper? The Beltrán canyon area. Zoom across towering bridges on the toll road (they're even building more!), or take the "libre" route for a wild ride with five hairpin turns. The views are insane – think dramatic canyons dwarfed by those massive toll bridges overhead.
But wait, there's more! Get ready for epic vistas of the Nevado de Colima mountain and the Colima volcano. The landscape is a total chameleon, morphing from coconut palms near Manzanillo to lush rainforest near Colima, and even stretches of desert near the Sayula lagoon.
Quick heads-up: the road to Urique is best avoided due to safety concerns.
And if you're up for another thrilling adventure, check out Bajada a Xichu for unreal views of the Sierra Madre Oriental.

hardClara Peak
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! Clara Peak in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, is calling your name! We're talking serious altitude here – 8,544 feet above sea level! Nestled in the Santa Fe National Forest, the road to the top is a real off-road experience: think gravel, rocks, and a definite no-go in the winter months. Not for the faint of heart, this climb is STEEP, and if you're not comfortable with heights or unpaved mountain roads, you might want to skip this one. Be prepared for washouts and ruts along the way - most SUVs can handle it, but things get seriously rocky and steep about a quarter mile from the summit. Unless you're rocking a rugged, high-clearance 4WD vehicle, park it and hike the rest of the way. Sadly, the old lookout tower that stood proudly since 1951 is no more, as the Forest Service took it down in the early 90s. But hey, the views are still totally worth it!
hardWhere is Gandy Bridge in Florida?
🇺🇸 Usa
Cruising through Florida? You HAVE to check out the Gandy Bridge! It's a seriously impressive 14,859-foot (4.5 km) stretch connecting St. Pete to Tampa right over Old Tampa Bay. Originally built way back in the 20s, it's been rebuilt a few times (the original was even one of the longest bridges around back then!). Now, the third and fourth spans are what you'll be driving on. Traffic can get a little thick during rush hour, but otherwise it's a pretty smooth ride. Just be prepared for some stunning water views on either side - you'll feel like you're driving on top of the sea. If you're not a fan of being close to the water this drive from Tampa to Clearwater might not be for you.
moderateRoad trip guide: Conquering the Stillwater Reservoir
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, wanderlusters, let's talk Stillwater Reservoir in Colorado! Nestled high in northeast Garfield County at a cool 10,311 feet, this alpine lake is a stunner. You'll find it southwest of Yampa, smack-dab in the Flat Tops within the Routt National Forest. The road in, Forest Road 900, is an unpaved adventure that's about 16.4 miles long, starting from Yampa. Keep in mind this baby is usually closed from November to June – winter hangs on tight up here! In dry conditions, most vehicles can handle the washboard surface, but a 4WD is your best friend during the shoulder seasons. Stillwater Reservoir is the last of three lakes along this route and offers incredible fishing, hiking, and camping opportunities. Plus, there's a decent-sized parking lot at the end of the road. Get ready for some serious scenery!
moderateWhere is Bennett Peak?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so you're looking for a real adventure? Check out Bennett Peak in Rio Grande County, Colorado! This isn't your average Sunday drive. We're talking about a totally unpaved road that climbs to a whopping 13,218 feet! You'll find it south of Creede, nestled in the southwestern part of the Rio Grande National Forest. From the starting point at 11,779 feet, it's about 3 miles of rugged, unadulterated driving. Forget smooth asphalt, this is a primitive dirt road all the way, winding through grassy tundra. Be warned, it's above the timberline so expect exposure to the elements. The payoff? Incredible panoramic views from a wide, grassy summit. Word to the wise: this road is completely snowed in during winter. So, plan your trip for the warmer months, and make sure you've got a vehicle that can handle the rough stuff. If your ride isn't up to it, get ready for a hike!
