Year-round
Okay, thrill-seekers, listen up! Beaver Mountain in Colorado's Dolores County is calling your name, but fair warning, this ain't your average Sunday drive. We're talking a lung-busting climb to 9,307 feet on a gravel and rock road that laughs in the face of anything less than a 4x4. Winter? Forget about it – this road's hibernating.
If you're squeamish about heights or those types of unpaved roads, maybe stick to the scenic byways. But, if you're up for a seriously steep challenge, the views from the top (peeking between the trees) of Longs Peak, the Continental Divide, and the Mummy Range? Totally worth it. Get ready for an epic adventure!
