Year-round
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!

hardDriving through the scenic Monarch Pass in Colorado
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, road trip enthusiasts, let's talk about Monarch Pass! This Colorado gem straddles Gunnison and Chaffee counties in the heart of the Rockies and tops out at a cool 11,312 feet. You'll be cruising on U.S. Highway 50, a fully paved road stretching for about 59 miles between Gunnison and Poncha Springs. Built back in the late 30s, this road isn't for the faint of heart. Expect some serious climbs and descents (we're talking 7% grades!), so downshift and take it easy. Watch out for tight turns, steep sections, and those infamous drop-offs – but don't worry, runaway truck ramps are there for emergencies! And keep an eye out for bears! Speaking of climbs, the one from Maysville is a doozy – 10.4 miles with a 3,000-foot elevation gain! Give yourself about an hour to soak it all in, plus extra time for photo ops (trust me, you'll want them!). The views are seriously epic, especially of the Sawatch Range. It's no wonder they filmed part of "Fast and Furious 7" here! At the summit, you'll find a gift shop and restaurant to refuel. If you are feeling adventurous, there's a minor gravel road at the summit that climbs to 11,922 feet above sea level. Monarch Pass is usually open year-round, but Colorado winters can be intense. Expect heavy snow and potential closures during storms. Oh, and heads up – this area holds the state record for wind gusts! Thunderstorms are common too. Regulars might not even notice the sign for Old Monarch Pass Road near the summit.
hardTable Rock Mountain
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! If you're in Washington and craving insane views, you HAVE to tackle Table Rock Mountain in Columbia County. We're talking about a peak that hits 6,259 feet above sea level, so yeah, it's up there! The road, also known as Kendall Skyline Road (Forest Service Road 64), winds its way through the stunning Blue Mountains and it’s an adventure in itself. Expect gravel, rocks, and some serious bumps. This isn’t a Sunday drive in your grandma's sedan, folks. You'll need a 4x4, and a healthy dose of driving confidence. Passenger cars *can* make it, but be warned, it'll be rough! Heads up, this road is usually snowed in from October to June, so plan accordingly. And if you're not a fan of heights or muddy, steep tracks, maybe sit this one out. But trust me, the views from the top are worth it. Plus, you'll find the remains of a fire lookout with some cool history dating back to 1929. Get ready for some unmatched scenery!
moderateIs the road to Haleakalā paved?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, buckle up, road trippers! We're heading to the summit of Pu'u'ula'ula (Red Hill) on Maui, a staggering 10,023 feet above sea level! The road to the top, known as Crater Road or Route 378, is a fully paved adventure. It kicks off in Kahului and stretches for nearly 35 glorious miles into the Haleakalā mountains. Pro-tip: Pukalani or Makawao are your last stops for supplies, so stock up on snacks and gas. Trust me, this drive is worth it. At the summit, you'll find a huge parking lot and the Haleakalā Observatory. The summit building itself offers unbelievable panoramic views. On a clear day? Forget about it! You can spot Hawaiʻi (Big Island), Lanaʻi, Molokaʻi, and even Oʻahu. Now, about the road itself: It’s a well-maintained two-lane highway, but hold on tight! There are tons of blind turns, seriously steep drop-offs (without guardrails!), and a whopping 32 switchbacks! Keep an eye out for cows, nene geese and other critters that might wander onto the road. Fog can also roll in and reduce visibility. This epic road was built in the 1930s, taking two years to complete, and it snakes its way through Haleakalā National Park. It's a record-breaker, too, gaining the most elevation in the shortest distance (35 miles) anywhere! Be prepared for some serious climbing, with gradients hitting 15% in places. You'll gain over 9,900 feet in elevation with an average gradient of 5.39%. This is one unforgettable drive!
hardWhere is Hardscrabble Pass?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: you're cruising through the heart of Colorado, smack-dab in the San Isabel National Forest. You're on Highway 96, ready to tackle Hardscrabble Pass. This baby climbs up to 9,097 feet! Starting near Westcliffe, this paved road stretches for about 26 miles as you head west-northeast towards Wetmore. And get this – if you're feeling extra adventurous, there's a short gravel detour north of the pass that takes you even higher, up to 9,557 feet! Now, a heads up: this road isn't for the faint of heart. It's got some seriously steep sections, hitting a 9% grade in places, plus three or four large sweeping switchbacks, so pay attention, especially on the downhill. Some bikers have even reported accidents there. But the views? Absolutely incredible!
