Year-round
Okay, thrill-seekers, listen up! West Mountain in Utah's San Juan County is calling your name, but don't think this is just another Sunday drive. We're talking a seriously high mountain pass, peaking at a whopping 10,872 feet! Nestled in the Blue Mountains, this beauty is Forestal Road 0354, and she's a gravel queen – steep, rough, and ready to test your mettle.
Forget your low-riders; you'll absolutely need a 4WD beast to tackle this one. The weather here is a total wildcard, changing on a dime, and road closures are pretty common. But, oh man, are the views worth it! Miles and miles of winding mountain roads with scenery that'll knock your socks off.
Word to the wise: this road gets super muddy and slippery after rain, so come prepared. Seriously, do your homework and check conditions before you head out. And a big NOPE if you’re not comfy with heights or sketchy terrain, or if you have respiratory or heart problems. This road is a beast, especially when wet or dark. But if you’re prepped and ready for an adventure, West Mountain will reward you with views you won’t soon forget!

hardForest Road 564
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, let's talk about Forest Road 564 in the heart of Colorado's San Juan Mountains! This beauty sits way up high in Montezuma County, and when I say high, I mean *high*. We're talking the *entire* road hovers above 10,000 feet! It's about 12.3 miles of pure, unadulterated gravel goodness (with some seriously narrow bits thrown in for extra fun). Be warned: things get steep and rocky in places. A 4x4 isn't just recommended, it's your best friend. Speaking of friends, winter weather is *not* your friend here - this road doesn't get plowed. The peak elevation hits a breathtaking 10,961 feet. But here's the thing: the San Juans are notorious for crazy summer thunderstorms and lightning. The weather can turn on a dime, so keep an eye on the sky! Despite the potential hazards, the views are absolutely incredible.
extremeHow long is Northern Link Road?
🌍 Dominica
Okay, picture this: Dominica, Caribbean vibes, and you're about to tackle the Northern Link Road. This ain't your grandma's Sunday drive. We're talking a seriously steep, zig-zag climb that'll test your driving skills (and maybe your nerves!). This baby's paved, but don't let that fool you. It's narrow, sharply winding, and climbs like crazy. Starting in Penville, a village nestled up at about 91 meters above sea level, you'll quickly be heading skyward. Clocking in at about 3.2 kilometers, you'll be staring down hairpin turns and blind corners as you gain altitude. Trust me, it's a workout for your steering wheel. The road ultimately summits at 376 meters, that's a whopping 285 meter climb over just 3 kilometers, with an average grade of 9.5%, before heading towards Capuchin. The views, though? Totally worth it. Just keep your eyes on the road...and maybe pull over to soak it all in!
hardHaleakala Highway in Hawaii: blind turns and very steep drop offs
🇺🇸 Usa
Get ready for an epic climb on Maui's Haleakala Highway, also known as Crater Road or Route 378! This road's a record-breaker, gaining more elevation in a shorter distance than anywhere else on Earth – 35 miles straight up! Winding through Haleakalā National Park, this fully paved road takes you from Kahului all the way to Pu'u'ula'ula (Red Hill), the tippy-top of Haleakalā at a staggering 10,023 feet. Built back in the '30s, this two-lane road throws some serious challenges your way. Expect gradients up to 15% on some ramps, so hang on tight! You'll gain 9,911 feet in elevation, averaging a 5.39% grade. Prepare for blind turns, super steep drop-offs (without guardrails!), and a whopping 32 switchbacks! Keep an eye out for cows, nene geese, and fog that can roll in quickly. Make sure you stock up on gas and snacks in Pukalani or Makawao because there are no more services past that point. The drive to the summit takes about 1 to 1.5 hours without stopping, but you'll want to pause and soak in the insane "moonlike" scenery. And remember, the temperature drops as you climb, about 3 degrees F for every 1,000 feet of altitude. So, if it's a balmy 75 degrees at sea level, it'll be around 45 degrees at the summit. Plus, driving this road is like traveling from Mexico to Canada in terms of ecological zones – pretty wild, right?
hardA paved mountain road to Rabbit Ears Pass in Colorado
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up for Rabbit Ears Pass, a seriously awesome mountain pass in northern Colorado! You'll find this beauty straddling Jackson and Grand counties, clocking in at a lofty 9,426 feet. We're talking about U.S. Route 40 here, a fully paved road that'll take you on a wild ride. It’s a pretty steep climb, with gradients hitting almost 7% in spots, and a few hairpin turns to keep things interesting. You'll be sharing the road with locals and travelers alike, all soaking up the Rocky Mountain vibes. And hey, if you're feeling adventurous, you can cruise another 3 miles east to Muddy Pass – a slightly lower but equally scenic spot. This epic stretch runs for about 52 miles between Steamboat Springs (hello, Yampa Valley!) and the charming town of Kremmling. Just a heads up, though: while Rabbit Ears Pass is open year-round, Mother Nature sometimes throws a tantrum. Expect short closures due to gnarly weather – especially in winter, when this pass earns its rep as one of Colorado's trickiest!
