Year-round
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Fisher Mountain in Montana is calling your name! This beast of a peak sits high up in Park County, scraping the sky. You'll find it south of Livingston, nestled in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, practically hugging the Wyoming border.
Think rugged because you're trading pavement for a seriously bumpy, old mining road. We're talking high-clearance, 4x4 territory only! It’s just over 6 miles from the trailhead to the top. You’ll probably want to avoid this one from November to June, as snow makes it impassable.
What's the payoff for all this off-road madness? Epic views! And a little bit of history as you explore the ruins from the New World Mining District. Get ready for some steep climbs and scenery that'll blow your mind. This isn't just a drive; it's an experience.

hardBigelow Divide
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up, road trip fans! Let's talk about Bigelow Divide, a killer mountain pass nestled in Custer County, Colorado. We're talking serious altitude here – a whopping 9,403 feet above sea level! You'll find this gem chilling within the San Isabel National Forest, and the road up? It's paved – they call it Greenhorn Highway. Just a heads up, though, this climb is STEEP. But trust me, the views at the top are totally worth the lung-busting drive. Get ready for some serious Colorado scenery!
hardReward Mine: a risky drive into an abandoned mine in California
🇺🇸 Usa
Ever dreamed of driving through a real mine? Head to Inyo County, California, and you might just get your chance! Tucked away at the foot of the Inyo Mountains, between Independence and Lone Pine, lies the Reward Mine (aka Brown Monster Mine), a sprawling relic from the late 1800s gold and lead rush. This place is massive, with eight interconnected levels stretching over 500 feet! The main tunnel is so huge, rumor has it you can drive a 4x4 right through it. You'll find the mine just east of the Manzanar Historical Monument, a somber but important WWII internment camp definitely worth a visit. Now, for the adventurous drivers: the trail leading to the mine entrance is steep and rocky, definitely requiring 4WD, good clearance, and excellent off-road tires. Once inside, the terrain mellows out to soft dirt, and you can supposedly drive over a quarter mile into the earth. The main tunnel itself can fit multiple vehicles! A word of serious caution: this mine is showing its age, and collapses are a real risk. This is earthquake country, so a cave-in could happen anytime. Driving in alone is not recommended, and extreme caution is a must. Even though it's tempting, driving into the depths of the mine is a dangerous and risky adventure. Despite the risk, the reward is driving into a real mine, something very few get to experience.
hardRobbs Peak
🇺🇸 Usa
Robbs Peak is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.039m (6,689ft) above the sea level, located in El Dorado County, California, in USA. The road to the summit, located within El Dorado National Forest, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. It’s called Robbs Road. The road is usually impassable from October to June (weather permitting). Winter conditions can occur from September through June and may provide visitors with challenging weather in addition to affecting access and amenities. At the summit there’s a lookout tower constructed in 1937. Expect a trail pretty steep. During the summer, most passenger vehicles can access the hut on the dirt road. Deep snow conditions can be exhausting and roads can become impassable to all vehicles including 4WD.

hardA steep old 4wd road to Ruby Mountain
🇺🇸 Usa
Hey fellow adventurers! Ever dreamed of conquering a Colorado peak? Ruby Mountain, clocking in at a hefty 11,833 feet, might just be your next obsession. Tucked away in Summit County within the Arapaho National Forest, this beauty offers views for days. The road? Think rugged. We're talking totally unpaved, old-school mine road vibes. Word is, motorized vehicles are a no-go these days, but the views from the top are supposed to be incredible. If you’re thinking about tackling this one, know it's STEEP! From Peru Creek Trail (Forest Service Road 260), it's a short but intense climb— just over half a mile, gaining about 460 feet. That's a gradient that will definitely get your heart pumping. Expect access roughly from March to November, but even then, remember that lingering snow at the summit can stick around well into July. Early birds might find the lower sections clear sooner.
