Year-round
Okay, fellow adventurers, let's talk about Potosi Mountain South in Nevada's Spring Mountains! This ain't your grandma's Sunday drive. We're talking about a serious climb up to 8,172 feet!
The road, Forest Road 509 (aka Potosi Mountain Road), is all gravel, all the time, and skinny enough to make you sweat. Seriously, 4x4 is a MUST. And hold on tight, because you'll be tackling some insane inclines – think 25-30%! You'll pass some old mines on your way up and maybe even spot some cool shelter caves.
Up top, you'll find a bunch of communication towers (not exactly scenic, but hey, they gotta be somewhere). But the REAL reason to make this trek? The views! The summit lords over the whole Las Vegas skyline. Trust me, the photo ops are EPIC. Charge those batteries and clear some memory on your camera because you're gonna need it!

easyWhere is Echo Summit?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up, road trippers! Let's talk Echo Summit, a killer pass perched way up in California's El Dorado County at a cool 7,398 feet. You'll find it hanging out near the Nevada border in the northern Sierra Nevada. This beauty, also known as Johnson Pass, was carved out way back in the late 30s and is now a super smooth, paved ride called U.S. Route 50 (or the El Dorado Freeway if you're feeling fancy). Fun fact: it's the highest point on this highway in California. The whole stretch runs for about 12.3 miles between Meyers and Strawberry. Generally, you can cruise this road year-round, but Mother Nature sometimes throws a curveball with heavy weather, so keep an eye on the forecast. Get ready for some seriously epic scenery!
hardBeaver Mountain
🇺🇸 Usa
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!
extremeForest Road 220
🇺🇸 Usa
Alright, adventure seekers, listen up! I've got a gem for you: Forest Road 220 in Blaine County, Idaho. Picture this: you're cruising in the Boulder Mountains, nestled in the Sawtooth National Forest, with the Sawtooth National Recreation Area as your playground. This isn't your average Sunday drive, though. We're talking a 3.6-mile (5.7km) gravel track that climbs entirely above 2,300 meters, and tops out at a breathtaking 2,652m (8,701ft) on Quartz Mountain! Starting from Forest Road 215 (Salmon River Road), the average gradient is 6%, with some sections hitting a wild 16%. Oh, and did I mention the seven hairpin turns that'll keep you on your toes? A 4x4 isn't just recommended; it's essential. Plus, the weather here can be a real wild card, so be prepared for anything. This road is usually snowed in during the winter, so time your visit accordingly. But trust me, the views are absolutely worth it. Just remember to pack your sense of adventure and get ready for an unforgettable ride!
hardTrail Creek Road in Idaho is not for novice mountain drivers
🇺🇸 Usa
Get ready for a wild ride on Trail Creek Road! This super scenic route straddles Blaine and Custer counties in Idaho and is a total hidden gem. Clocking in at just over 40 miles, the road kicks off near Ketchum, winding its way up to Highway 93 close to Chilly. Heads up: the pavement doesn't last long! You'll quickly be bumping along on gravel, and then it's mostly dirt and some seriously aggressive, pyramid-shaped rocks. Think insane drop-offs, a skinny, one-lane gravel path, and views that'll knock your socks off. You don't *need* 4WD, but be prepared for some rocky and potholed sections. This drive is no joke! If you're not comfortable with mountain driving, this might not be for you. Seriously steep sections and unforgiving terrain mean you need to be on your game. There's a reason big rigs and trailers are a no-go. This road has a reputation for flat tires, so make sure your spare is in tip-top shape (and full-sized!). Rockslides and washouts are common, so keep your eyes glued to the road. Did I mention the views are amazing? Just don't become one of them! Located in the heart of Idaho, give yourself 1-2 hours to conquer this incredible drive without stopping, but trust me, you'll want to pull over. The actual time depends on the road conditions and how often you pause to soak in the scenery. You'll climb to Trail Creek Summit at a whopping 7,910 feet above sea level. This gravel, mostly unmaintained road is snowed under in winter but opens up as soon as the weather warms. We're talking double-digit feet of snow! Plus, rock and dirt avalanches often cause damage during the colder months.
