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!

moderateWhere is the Cathedral Valley Driving Loop Tour?
🇺🇸 Usa
Ready for an epic off-road adventure? Let's talk about the Cathedral Valley Driving Loop in Utah's Capitol Reef National Park. This 57.6-mile loop dives right into the heart of Cathedral Valley, promising seriously stunning views. The loop kicks off on Hartnet Road, winding its way to Hartnet Junction before hooking onto Cathedral Road back to Highway 24. Expect a full day – around 6-8 hours – to soak it all in, especially with photo stops and maybe a little exploring. Now, here's the real talk: This is a dirt road, and mother nature calls the shots. After even a little rain, things can get dicey. High clearance is generally recommended, but 4x4 could be your best friend. Heads up, the south end of Hartnet Road throws a river crossing into the mix – the Fremont River, to be exact. There's no bridge, so you'll be fording it. Always check the depth before you commit. If the river's angry, don't risk it! Also, you're out there. Seriously out there. Cell service is a myth, and help is a long way off. Come prepared, both for the terrain and for being blissfully alone with nature's masterpieces. Think panoramic views, dramatic landscapes, and a feeling of being completely disconnected from the world.
hardWenatchee Mountain
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up, adventure seekers! We're heading to Wenatchee Mountain in central Washington State, a beast of a peak topping out at 6,755 feet! This isn't your average Sunday drive. You'll be climbing high above the Mission Ridge Ski Resort, and trust me, the views from the lookout near the summit are worth the trek. But here's the thing: this road is a gravelly, rocky, bumpy ride that demands respect. A 4x4 isn't just recommended, it's practically mandatory. Expect steep climbs and a road that's slow going. We're talking ruts, rocks, and potentially tricky conditions. Keep an eye on the weather too - thunderstorms can quickly turn this road into a 4x4-only situation, or even make it impassable! And be prepared for some serious wind at the top – it can really whip up there. Basically, this road is a challenging climb, but with stunning panoramic views that make it an unforgettable adventure. Just be prepared! Also, the road is typically closed from October to June, weather permitting.
hardA mining road to Rogers Pass
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up, adventure seekers! Rogers Pass in Colorado's Gilpin and Grand counties is calling your name. Perched way up at 11,919 feet, this isn't your average Sunday drive. Forget pavement – we're talking rugged, unadulterated shelf road that'll make your palms sweat (in a good way!). This former mining route definitely isn't for the faint of heart. We're talking steep, rocky stretches above the treeline, so a high-clearance 4x4 is an absolute must. (Private vehicles closed though.) You'll find this beast in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, smack-dab in the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest. The 2.5-mile climb kicks off from Corona Pass Road (County Road 80), gaining a solid 800 feet in elevation – that's a roughly 6% average grade. Don't even think about tackling this one in winter; it's definitely not plowed. Be warned – it’s often chilly and windy up here, and snow can stick around well into July at this altitude. The reward? Jaw-dropping views of the cirque and shimmering lakes that will make it all worth it.
extremeCoquihalla Highway is one of the worst roads in winter
🇨🇦 Canada
The Coquihalla Highway, or "the Coq" as locals call it, carves its way through the heart of British Columbia, connecting Kamloops and Hope (near the Fraser Valley) via Merritt. Clocking in at 193 km (119 miles), this fully paved freeway takes you on a wild ride. Okay, let's be real: winter here is no joke. You're climbing to high elevations, with the Coquihalla Pass reaching 1,249m (4,097ft) and Surrey Lake Summit topping out at 1,444m (4,738 ft). Expect some serious snow and winds that can test even the most seasoned drivers. While it's generally open year-round, closures happen due to crazy weather. Sudden snowstorms, blowing snow, and fog are common winter woes. Keep an eye out for avalanche chutes, a stark reminder of the steep terrain. Winter tires or chains are a must from October to April. Before you hit the road, prep like a pro. Fill up your gas tank, pack winter gear, a candle, and maybe even a sleeping bag (just in case!). Make sure your ride is in tip-top shape with the right coolant, brakes, and tires. This route is seriously steep at both ends. While most cars cruise it no problem in the warmer months, truckers sometimes avoid it because of the extra gas guzzled on those inclines. Just be mindful of potential overheating in summer. Weather can change on a dime, so stay alert. Sure, winter driving can be intense, but that's more about the elevation and mountains than the road itself. But defensive driving is smart because of the terrain and possible weather and uneven pavement. The highway itself is pretty good, with four to six lanes. Some spots have frost heaves and uneven pavement, but with two lanes each way, slower vehicles aren't usually a problem.
