hardSaddle Mountain
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventurers, listen up! Saddle Mountain in New Mexico's Catron County is calling your name with its epic 8,326-foot summit. You'll find this beauty tucked away inside the Gila National Forest, but fair warning: the road up is no Sunday drive. We're talking gravel, rocks, and a seriously bumpy, tippy ride that demands a 4x4. Heads up – Mother Nature often shuts this down between October and June, so plan accordingly! The climb is STEEP, and those New Mexico thunderstorms can turn those unpaved roads into a 4-wheel-drive-only zone, or even make them totally impassable. But hey, if you make it to the top, you're rewarded with stunning views from a fire lookout tower that's been standing tall since '66. Definitely worth the effort for that ultimate off-road experience!

Even when it's open, remember you're dealing with some serious altitude and unpredictable weather, so pack accordingly. But trust me, the scenery is worth the challenge!
moderateWhere is Beckwourth Pass?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, let's talk about Beckwourth Pass in sunny California! You'll find this beauty straddling Plumas and Lassen counties, way up in northeastern California, practically waving hello to Nevada. At a cool 5,221 feet above sea level, this pass is named after the legendary James Beckwourth, who stumbled upon it way back in 1850. Forget bumpy rides, this route is all smooth sailing on a fully paved road: California State Route 70. The pass stretches for a sweet 18.3 miles between Beckwourth and US-395, serving up some amazing views as you cruise along. And here's the best part: unlike other high-altitude passes in the Sierra Nevada, Beckwourth Pass usually stays open all winter long! Being the lowest mountain pass in the range has its perks. So, get ready to soak in those panoramic vistas without worrying about major road closures!

And the adventure doesn't stop at the end of the road! Lace up your hiking boots for a 2-mile trek up the canyon to Hungry Bill's Ranch, where you'll find cool rock terraces and fruit trees. Feeling ambitious? Keep going another half-mile up the south fork to check out some old mining spots. Get ready for some epic scenery and a true taste of the Death Valley backcountry!
