Year-round
Okay, buckle up for Jubilee Pass, a seriously cool mountain route in eastern central California, chilling at the southern end of Death Valley National Park. This isn't just any drive; it's a scenic tour through the wild heart of southern Death Valley, but fair warning, the temps can get *intense*.
Historically, Jubilee Pass was a lifeline, especially back in the day when miners were tearing through these tough lands hunting for riches. Even with its dry, rugged vibe, it’s still a vital path.
Good news: the road's fully paved, so no need for a monster truck! You'll be cruising on CA-178 (Jubilee Pass Road), but keep an eye out, because conditions can change. And be ready for some climbs – some spots hit a max gradient of 8%!
The pass itself isn't crazy long, stretching about 12.8 miles (20.6 km) amidst the desert beauty, and it hits an elevation of 4,288 feet (1,307 meters). All in all, this isn't just a drive; it's an adventure with a dash of history!

extremeSmith Peak
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! Smith Peak in California's Plumas National Forest is calling your name, but this isn't your average Sunday drive. We're talking a climb to 7,677 feet (2,340m) up a seriously rugged, gravelly road. Think rocky, bumpy, and guaranteed to keep you on your toes! If unpaved mountain roads make you sweat, maybe skip this one. A 4x4 is practically mandatory, and if heights aren't your thing, you might want to reconsider. It's a pretty steep climb, and if it's been raining? Muddy conditions could turn this into a real challenge. But, oh, the views! And at the top? A fire lookout awaits! So, if you're up for a bit of an adrenaline rush and some killer scenery, Smith Peak might just be your next unforgettable adventure.
moderateThe road to Etna Summit in CA has it all
🇺🇸 Usa
Alright, fellow wanderers, let me tell you about Etna Summit in Northern California's Klamath National Forest! This beauty sits at a cool 5,994 feet above sea level in Siskiyou County. The road, connecting Forks of Salmon to Etna in the Scott Valley, is now fully paved, stretching for almost 40 miles of pure driving bliss. But hold on, it’s not all smooth sailing. Prepare for a wild ride with a whopping 3,713-foot drop in just 12 miles! We’re talking serious snaketrack action where you'll be hugging 1st gear the whole way down. Brakes? Not your best friend here. Expect a slow and steady pace of 10-15 mph on a road that's rough in spots and often just one lane. This is remote territory, so come prepared – limited services are available. Summer afternoons can get scorching, so pack plenty of water. And a friendly tip: give that horn a good blast on those blind curves! Not recommended for RVs, trailers, or newbie mountain drivers. Despite the challenges, the road surface is generally good, and the scenery? Absolutely breathtaking! Expect constantly changing vistas that will leave you in awe. Trust me, this is one unforgettable road trip.
hardThe Knoll
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! The Knoll in east-central Utah's Grand County is calling your name! This high mountain peak sits at a cool 6,240 feet above sea level. The road up? Mostly smooth sailing on asphalt (UT-313), but hold onto your hats for the final 800 feet or so – that's where the gravel fun begins! This isn't your grandma's Sunday drive, folks. Experienced off-roaders will LOVE this trail. You'll definitely need a 4x4 to conquer this one, and be prepared for some seriously steep climbs. But trust me, the views are totally worth it!
extremeA few switchbacks to Douglas Pass in Colorado
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up for Douglas Pass! This scenic byway, also known as Colorado Highway 139 or Douglas Pass Road, winds through Garfield County, Colorado. It's a fully paved route stretching 70.4 miles (113.29km) between Rangely and Loma, so you're in for a good stretch of road. Originally built in the 1920s, it wasn't fully paved until 1972, giving it some serious vintage vibes. You'll be cruising at a lofty 8,287ft (2,526m) above sea level in the Bookcliff Mountains. While generally open year-round, keep an eye on the forecast, as winter weather can sometimes shut things down. The views from the summit are incredible, especially the La Sal Mountains piercing the skyline. Heads up, though! This road can get busy, especially with truckers using it as a shortcut from Grand Junction. Expect some hairpin turns and a narrow road hugging the rock face. Plus, being carved into a shale mountainside means you might encounter some lane blockages or shoulder erosion. The southern side throws in some steep climbs, with gradients hitting 7% – making it one of the steepest paved passes in Colorado. For the adventurous, there's also a side trip from the summit. A short, unpaved road climbs steeply to a communication tower at 8,818ft (2,688m) via three tight hairpin turns. I'd recommend 4WD for that little detour!
