Year-round
Okay, adventurers, let's talk Ute Mountain in northeastern Utah's Daggett County! This peak hits a lofty 8,838 feet, and getting to the top is a proper off-road jaunt. Forest Road 055, your path to glory, is all gravel and rocks, so be prepared for a bumpy, steep climb through Ashley National Forest.
The reward? A sweet lookout tower built way back in '37 – one of the last of its kind in Utah! It's even staffed by volunteers, so give them a wave! Seriously though, check the weather before you head up; you don't want to be caught in a thunderstorm up there. This road is a no-go in the winter. Novice off-roaders might want to think twice.
But oh, the views! Seriously stunning panoramic vistas of Ashley National Forest and the virtually untouched northeastern Uinta Mountains. Bring your camera, because you'll want to capture *everything*. Trust me, this drive is worth every single bump and rock!

hardTeton Park Road is one of the most sensational drives of Wyoming
🇺🇸 Usa
Cruising Teton Park Road is like driving through a postcard! This 20-mile paved beauty snakes along the base of the Tetons in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, and it's basically a non-stop photo op. You'll want to budget at least 30-60 minutes to soak it all in, but that's *without* stopping – and trust me, you'll want to stop. Keep your eyes peeled though! This is prime wildlife territory. Elk, bison, and mule deer love to wander, especially at night, and moose use the roads like their own personal highways. Slow down, especially after dark, and use the pull-offs to safely admire the scenery and any furry friends you spot. Heads up: Mother Nature calls the shots here. The road closes seasonally from November 1st to April 30th between Taggart Lake Trailhead and Signal Mountain Lodge due to heavy snow. Expect jaw-dropping vistas, deep canyons, and lush forests. Plus, you can easily hop onto the Signal Mountain or Jenny Lake Scenic Loops for even more adventure. Seriously, the mountains are so stunning you might forget you're driving! Get ready for a nature experience you won't soon forget.
moderateRoute Description
🇺🇸 Usa
Cruising through California, State Route 111 is a must-do! Starting way down south in Calexico, practically on the border, it runs all the way up to Whitewater, near Palm Springs. This road is the lifeline of both the Coachella and Imperial Valleys, linking towns and farms from top to bottom. Heads up: SR 111 used to take you straight to the Calexico West Port of Entry, but they rerouted it a few years back. For a good chunk of the drive – about 40 miles – you'll be hugging the eastern edge of the Salton Sea. This part of the road can feel a bit eerie and desolate, thanks to the sea's… issues. Think post-apocalyptic vibes meet date groves. On the other side is California State Route 86 (CA-86 S) and runs 75.63km (47.0 miles). Once you hit the Coachella Valley, SR 111 transforms. Suddenly, it’s a bustling road packed with cars, winding through Indio, La Quinta, and all those swanky desert towns. It's your main artery through the area, so expect traffic. The northern end of SR 111 is in Palm Springs and it becomes a divided highway before finally meeting Interstate 10 near Whitewater. Even though the views are pretty epic in places, SR 111 isn't officially a State Scenic Highway.
hardWhere is Mount Ashland?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, let's talk Mount Ashland in the beautiful Siskiyou Mountains of Oregon! This peak is a high one, topping out at a lofty elevation. You'll find some serious communication gear up there, buzzing away. The road to the summit gets going past the Mount Ashland Ski Resort parking lot – just keep going past where everyone else stops! It's completely paved, but don't let that fool you. From the parking lot, you've got roughly a length to the top, climbing the height with an average grade. Get ready for three super tight hairpin turns that'll test your driving skills! Word of warning: winter turns this route into an absolute no-go zone. But when it's clear, the views are totally worth the trip! Oh, and the mountain gets its name from the town of Ashland, which sits just north of it. Enjoy the ride!
moderateJones Gap, an awe-inspiring drive
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up, road trippers! We're heading to Jones Gap, a killer mountain pass perched right on the South Carolina/North Carolina line in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This beauty clocks in at a lofty 2,929 feet (893m) and sits nestled within the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area. The entire route is paved – just look for US-276 E. But don't get too comfy! This 16.4-mile (26.39km) stretch from Cedar Mountain, NC, to Cleveland, SC, packs a punch with some serious steep sections. We're talking gradients hitting a max of 11.1% in spots! But the views? Totally worth it! Get ready for some seriously scenic vistas as you wind your way through this mountain paradise. Just keep your eyes on the road… those inclines are no joke!
