Year-round
Okay, road trip enthusiasts, listen up! We're heading to New Mexico, to one of its highest roads, pushing a sky-high 12,066 feet above sea level!
You'll find this beast in northern New Mexico, snaking through the Santa Fe National Forest up to Tesuque Peak. Heads up – currently, you can't drive your own car to the tippy-top.
What awaits you at the peak? A forest of communication towers and views that'll knock your socks off: think Mt. Taylor, the Sandia Mountains, and the Jemez range stretching out before you.
Now, about the road itself... It's a steep, loose, and rowdy track, so you'll *definitely* need a 4x4 to conquer this one. The unpaved climb gains 2,070 feet over its length, making for an average gradient of around 7%. Be extra careful of oncoming traffic—you might need to utilize the turnouts! Get ready for some epic scenery and a true off-road adventure!

moderateWhere is Hardscrabble Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! You NEED to check out Hardscrabble Mountain in Colorado's Eagle County. Nestled south of Eagle in the White River National Forest, this beast tops out at a cool 10,698 feet! Forget the pavement – you're in for a 20.7-mile off-road rumble on Forest Road 413 (aka Hardscrabble Mountain Road). Seriously, a 4x4 isn't just recommended; it's essential! Some sections are seriously steep, with gradients hitting 10%. The views, though? Unreal. Think panoramic vistas of the Sawatch and Gore Mountain Ranges. Just be warned: this is a summer-only kind of trip. Winter? Nope. But trust me, those summer views are worth the wait!
hardCave Lake
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! Cave Lake in south-central Colorado’s Chaffee County is calling your name. This ain't your Sunday drive. We're talking a real deal high-altitude experience, topping out at a whopping 12,181 feet! Seriously, this is one of the highest roads in the entire state. Picture this: rocky, gravel roads winding through the majestic Rocky Mountains. You'll definitely need a 4x4 to conquer this beast. Trust me, you don't want to get stuck. And speaking of beasts, winter makes this road completely impassable, so plan accordingly. Now, for the faint of heart, be warned: this trail is steep! Expect hairpin turns that will test your driving skills (and maybe your nerves). Oh, and heights? Yeah, they're a thing here. But the views? Totally worth it. And if you're feeling extra adventurous, keep going past the lake—a gravel road will take you even higher, up to 12,765 feet. Just a heads up: the wind can be fierce up here, year-round. And even in summer, snow isn’t out of the question. Bottom line: Cave Lake is an epic adventure for experienced drivers who aren't afraid of a little challenge!
hardWhat’s Needles Eye in South Dakota famous for?
🇺🇸 Usa
Cruising through Custer State Park in South Dakota? You HAVE to experience Needles Eye! This isn't just a road; it's an adventure carved right through the Black Hills. Picture this: you're on Highway 87, part of the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway, winding 14 miles through granite spires and lush pines. The real star is the Needles Eye Tunnel—an 8'4" wide, 12' high passage blasted straight through the rock. It's cozy, to say the least! One car at a time, folks, so be ready to take turns and maybe hold your breath! RVs and big trailers? Probably best to skip this part. The views are absolutely worth it, though. Those needle-like granite formations are stunning, and the road itself is a masterpiece, completed back in 1922. Factor in about 45 minutes to an hour to really soak it all in, driving a leisurely pace. Keep in mind that this route is generally open from April to October, as it usually closes for winter due to snow. And remember there's a park entrance fee. Get ready for tight hairpin turns, mind-blowing scenery, and a drive you won't soon forget!
hardWhere is Yvonne Pass?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, buckle up for Yvonne Pass! This beast of a road sits way up high in southwestern Colorado, straddling the border between Hinsdale and San Juan counties, south of the legendary US 550. We're talking serious altitude here! Views from the top? Absolutely mind-blowing! Now, let's be real: this isn't your Sunday drive. The whole thing is unpaved and seriously rugged. You'll NEED a high-clearance 4x4 with a short wheelbase to even think about tackling this. We're talking crazy steep sections, with grades hitting a wild 20% in places. The pass stretches for about 4.2 miles, climbing over 2,200 feet. That gives you an average gradient of around 10%, but those steeper pitches will have you gripping the wheel! And a heads up: like many of Colorado's high-altitude roads, Yvonne Pass is typically closed from late October until late June or early July, thanks to the snow. Plan your trip accordingly!
