Year-round
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Wanna tackle a real beast of a pass? Head to Snohomish County, Washington, and find Rat Trap Pass. We're talking a whopping 3,182 feet above sea level, people!
Now, this isn't your Sunday cruise. Located inside Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, this is National Forest Road #27. It's a gnarly, unpaved track where a 4x4 isn't just recommended, it's essential! Seriously, leave the sedan at home. Washouts are common, and "impassable" is a regular state of affairs.
The road stretches for a solid 13.7 miles from the Mountain Loop Highway to National Forest Road #2703. But trust me, the views are worth it! Prepare to be blown away by the incredible scenery, especially the majestic White Chuck Mountain. Just remember to pack your nerves of steel!

moderateLittle Molas Lake
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventurers, listen up! I've got a gem for you: Little Molas Lake in Colorado's San Juan County. This alpine beauty sits way up high at 10,935 feet! Getting there is half the fun. You'll jump off Highway 550 onto Forest Road 584, a roughly 0.9-mile gravel track that's usually open from late May to mid-October, depending on the snow. The good news? You don't need a fancy SUV — two-wheel drive is fine. Just keep an eye out for wandering livestock and wildlife, and take it slow (under 30 mph is wise). The road ends at a handy parking lot. The views are absolutely stunning, classic Colorado mountain scenery. Trust me, the drive is worth it for the bragging rights and the Instagram pics!
hardA scenic mountain road to Cayoosh Pass in BC
🇨🇦 Canada
Okay, buckle up, road trip fans! We're heading to Cayoosh Pass in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. This baby sits at 4,235 feet in the Coastal Mountains – specifically, the Lillooet Ranges. You'll be cruising on Highway 99, a fully paved road since way back in '91. Don't get too comfy though – this isn't your grandma's Sunday drive. We're talking some seriously steep sections, clocking in at a 10-15% grade! Get ready for hairpin turns on the side of a steep hill, and some dramatic drop-offs. Seriously, it's gorgeous, but keep your eyes on the road – you might even smell burning brakes from the trucks! Also, rocks fall on the road all the time, and there's high avalanche danger in some areas. Heads up – cell service is spotty. The road's usually open year-round, but winter storms can shut it down. Honestly, for the best experience, tackle this drive in the summer. Trust me, you won't forget the majestic views, the twisty switchbacks, and the occasional single-lane bridge. It's a real driver's dream!

🇲🇽 Mexico
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! If you're headed to the tiny town of Maconà in Querétaro, Mexico, get ready for a visual feast. This road trip plunges you into the heart of the Sierra Gorda mountains with views that will leave you speechless. We're talking a serious drop, people! You'll start way up high at around 2,400 meters above sea level and wind your way down, down, down into a canyon at just 1,140 meters. Think dramatic switchbacks hugging the mountainside, with a river gurgling alongside you. The road itself is paved, but don't let that fool you – it's a twisty, turny route that demands your attention. Get ready for some breathtaking scenery!
extremeThe closed road to Devil’s Slide Trestles in Colorado
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Deep in the heart of Colorado's Boulder County lies the legendary Devil's Slide Trestles – a seriously sketchy, narrow-gauge railway relic from the Denver & Salt Lake Railroad days. We're talking about a nail-biting crossing of the Continental Divide via Rollins Pass. Imagine two rickety trestles clinging to the edge of a cliff, with a dizzying 960-foot vertical drop beneath you! These trestles were built right on the edge of South Boulder Canyon way back in 1904. They look like they're barely hanging on over thin air. Perched high in the Rockies, you can still see much of the original route. Be warned though: some of the trestles have seen better days and have partially collapsed. There are NO guardrails, and the drop-offs are seriously steep. Oh, and did I mention you can see straight through the gaps between some of the boards? Originally built for trains linking Denver to Winter Park and Salt Lake City, the route was later used by cars. From 1955 to 1979, Rollins Pass was a scenic route until a rockfall blocked the way. It briefly reopened in 1988, only to be permanently closed again in 1990. It's a truly stunning location, with the kind of scenery that makes you feel like you're on top of the world. Just be prepared for some serious exposure!
