The good news is, you probably won't be fighting a ton of traffic.
The whole shebang is about 23 miles long, winding its way from Sierraville in the north down to Truckee in the south. Get ready for some climbs though! There are definitely some steep spots along the way, with grades hitting up to 8% in places. But hey, the scenery is totally worth it!

hardWhere is Sundance Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so you’re heading to northern Idaho? Sundance Mountain is calling your name! This peak, nestled in Bonner County near the Washington border within the Idaho Panhandle National Forest, tops out at 6,279 feet. Now, this isn't your average Sunday drive. The road is about 7.9 miles long, and boy, does it climb! You're looking at an average gradient of nearly 9%, gaining over 3,700 feet in elevation. Translation? Steep! The road is unpaved and gnarly. We're talking fallen trees, overgrown brush, and enough rocks to make you question your life choices. High clearance and 4x4 are non-negotiable unless you fancy walking. And forget about it in winter – snow makes it impassable. Why go through all this trouble? The views, people, the views! Think sweeping panoramas of Priest Lake and the surrounding mountain ranges. It's seriously Insta-worthy. Plus, there’s a fire lookout tower built back in '35 waiting for you at the summit. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife, too – you might just spot a deer or even a moose along the way. Just remember, this mountain has a history. A massive wildfire swept through here in '67, so expect to see a landscape still recovering, with ghostly, fire-scorched trees dotting the slopes.
hardDriving the Main Divide Road to Santiago Peak in California
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, California dreamers, listen up! Want to bag the highest peak in Orange County? Then you've gotta hit up Santiago Peak, sitting pretty at 5,689 feet. You'll find it straddling Orange and Riverside counties, deep in the Cleveland National Forest. The route? It's Main Divide Road, an unpaved adventure that's totally worth it. Think simple trail – a little narrow, a little loose, a little uneven, but nothing your trusty 4WD can't handle. Most SUVs and trucks should be just fine tackling this one! Get ready for some seriously steep climbs, with gradients maxing out at 22%! You're looking at a 15.5-mile ascent from Ortega Highway, gaining over 3,300 feet along the way. So yeah, it’s a climb! Nestled in the Santa Ana Mountains, keep an eye on the weather and fire danger levels because this route can close. And guess what? Sometimes, you'll even find snow up there in winter! But the real reward is the views. Picture this: From the summit, on a clear day, you can see *everything*! We're talking Catalina Island sparkling in the ocean, stretching all the way out to the San Jacinto mountains, plus stunning panoramas of Orange and Riverside counties. Unreal! Up top, you'll be sharing the space with a bunch of microwave and telecommunication antennas – they keep the radio waves flowing for a huge chunk of Southern California. Locals often call it Saddleback Mountain, so keep an ear out for that. Allow around 1.5 to 2 hours to conquer this backcountry road without stopping. Trust me, the views are worth every single bump and turn!
hardA steep paved road to Allison Pass in BC
🇨🇦 Canada
Okay, road trip fans, buckle up for Allison Pass in beautiful British Columbia, Canada! You'll find this beauty smack-dab in the middle of Manning Park, nestled in the Cascade Mountains. Fun fact: it's named after a local rancher, John Fall Allison! The road itself is the fully paved BC-3, also known as the Hope-Princeton Highway, and this pass marks its highest point. Get ready for a 126 km (78-mile) journey stretching from Hope (where the Fraser and Coquihalla rivers meet) to Princeton. Now, the road usually stays open year-round, but winter can throw some curveballs with those short-term closures. Cyclists and drivers alike, be warned: this stretch can be a beast with some steep climbs and altitudes. Coming from Hope, you'll hit those 7% grades up to the Hope Slide before even starting the climb to Allison Pass – you might even see some trucks pulled over to cool their engines! But trust me, the views are worth it!
hardWhere is San Miguel Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so you HAVE to check out San Miguel Mountain in sunny San Diego County, California! This peak sits pretty at 2,567 feet, and you'll find it nestled in Spring Valley, just a quick 15-mile jaunt east of downtown San Diego. Bonus: on a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of Mexico! Heads up, though – the summit is home to a bunch of communication towers, so it's not exactly a pristine wilderness up there. However, the drive? Totally worth it. Millar Ranch Road is your path to the top. It's paved the whole way, but get ready for a serious climb! From CA-94, it's about 4.6 miles of winding, narrow road, gaining a whopping 2,227 feet in elevation. We're talking an average gradient of over 9%, with some sections spiking to over 20%! So buckle up, and get ready for some amazing views!
