Okay, adventure seekers, buckle up for Hershberger Mountain in southwestern Oregon's Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest! This isn't your Sunday drive. We're talking about a completely unpaved, bumpy, and pothole-filled climb to a historic WWII aircraft warning station, later refurbished and now on the National Historic Lookout Register.
Starting from the scenic Highway 230 (Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway), you've got about 11 miles of rough, unpaved road ahead. Get ready for an elevation gain of around 3,000 feet, which translates to a pretty consistent gradient. A 4x4 is highly recommended, and forget about bringing your low-clearance car – especially for that final, super gnarly stretch.
But trust me, it’s worth it! You'll be weaving through gorgeous forests, passing meadows bursting with wildflowers, and treated to miles and miles of stunning panoramic views, no matter the time of year. Hershberger Mountain isn't just a drive; it's an experience.

moderateWhere is Poncha Pass in Colorado?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: you're cruising through south-central Colorado on U.S. Highway 285, right on the border of Saguache and Chaffee counties. You're heading for Poncha Pass, a super accessible mountain crossing sitting pretty at 9,025 feet. This paved beauty stretches for about 21.6 miles, connecting Villa Grove in the south with Poncha Springs up north. It's the place where the Rio Grande and Arkansas River watersheds split, so you *know* the scenery's gonna be epic. The climb is pretty chill, too, with grades maxing out around 5% from the south. And since it's nestled where the Sangre de Cristo and San Juan Mountains meet, it's one of the lower passes around, which is a bonus. Usually it's open year-round, but hey, this is the mountains – keep an eye on the weather! Winter can bring restrictions or even closures. Also, watch out for falling rocks and the occasional mudslide; nature's always keepin' things interesting!
hardSouth Mount Hawkins
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, fellow adventurers, let me tell you about South Mount Hawkins, a killer peak sitting pretty at 7,785 feet in the Angeles National Forest, California! Getting to the top is no joke – Forest Service Road 3N07 is a wild ride of gravel, rocks, and bumps that’ll test your off-roading skills. Think seriously rough and ready. It’s usually closed from October to June, so plan accordingly. Seriously, if unpaved mountain roads aren't your jam, this ain't the drive for you. This road gets NARROW in spots. Seriously narrow! We're talking edge-of-your-seat, dangerous drop-offs that demand your full attention. The old lookout tower at the top, sadly burned down years ago, but the views? Absolutely breathtaking. You'll need a 4x4, and a good head for heights as it's steep with washouts along the way. Legend says the peak's named after Nellie Hawkins, a waitress at Squirrel Inn back in the day.
hardAn awe-inspiring drive to Paulina Peak in Oregon
🇺🇸 Usa
Wanna experience one of Oregon's highest roads? Head to Paulina Peak in Deschutes County, nestled within the Newberry National Volcanic Monument. The road, NF-500 (Paulina Peak Road), kicks off from Forest Service Road 21 and stretches for about 3.9 miles to the top. It's unpaved, so expect a bit of a bumpy ride, but most cars can make it. Just be aware that it can get pretty narrow and rough in spots. Shorter vehicles (under 23 feet) are recommended. Don't forget your recreation pass for parking! Get ready for a climb! You'll gain about 1,578 feet in elevation, with some sections hitting a 9% grade. The road is typically open from early July to late October/early November, depending on the snow. Trust me, the views are worth it. This spot offers incredible panoramic views of the Newberry Caldera, the volcano's flanks, the Cascades, and beyond. On a clear day, you can even spot Mt. Shasta in California and Mt. Adams in Washington. Oh, and keep an eye out for bears – they're known to hang around the campsites in the crater! Allocate at least 25 minutes for the drive, but you'll want to budget extra time for photos and exploring.
hardDixie Mountain
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: Dixie Mountain, a sweet spot in northeastern California's Lassen County, chilling at 8,284 feet. You'll find the road snaking up to the summit inside Plumas National Forest. It's a well-maintained dirt track on the lake's west side, but fair warning, it's a no-go in winter. Now, if off-pavement driving isn't your jam, maybe skip this one. The road's not exactly smooth sailing. Definitely bring a 4x4 and a spare tire because things can get a little dicey. Heights not your thing? Might want to reconsider. It's pretty steep. But if you make it, you'll find a cool old fire lookout built back in '28 waiting for you at the top!
