Year-round
Okay, buckle up for the Sola de Vega road, also known as Mexico 131 or the Oaxaca-Puerto Escondido highway! This isn't just a drive; it's an *experience*. Think twisty mountain roads for over six hours, taking you through cute villages (watch out for those speed bumps!), and offering incredible views of the Sierra Madre.
Word to the wise: if you get carsick easily, maybe skip this one. It's a popular route connecting Oaxaca to the beaches of Puerto Escondido, which means a lot of traffic on a fairly narrow road. Expect hairpin turns, steep climbs and descents – using your engine to brake is highly recommended. You'll climb to 2,180 meters near Sola de Vega before dropping all the way down to sea level at the coast. Good news: there's a new highway (Mexico 131D) in the works that should offer an alternate route, but for now, this is the way to go!

hardNogal Peak
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! Nogal Peak in southeastern New Mexico is calling your name! Nestled way up high in the Southern White Mountain Wilderness, you'll find this bad boy topping out at a whopping 8,809 feet! But here's the deal: this isn't your Sunday drive. Forest Road 108, aka Tanbark Canyon Road, is a gravelly, rocky, and bumpy beast. Think tippy! We're talking about a serious 4x4 situation, people. This road, deep inside the Lincoln National Forest, is constantly changing, so expect the unexpected. Winter likes to hang around here for a while, so your best bet for a safe trip is mid-summer. The road is a never-ending series of twists, turns, and narrow squeezes that'll test your driving skills. Steep, rough, and dirt, it keeps you on your toes the whole time. Up, down, right, left – you get the picture! But trust me, once you reach the summit and that Crest Trailhead parking lot, those views are worth every single bump and jostle!
moderateTapalpa Road
🇲🇽 Mexico
Okay, road trip lovers, listen up! If you find yourself in Jalisco, Mexico, you HAVE to check out the road to Tapalpa (that's Highway 436). Picture this: you start out near Libre Mexico 54 at around 4,400 feet above sea level, and then you begin a winding, paved climb up, up, UP to the charming town of Tapalpa, perched at almost 6,800 feet. This isn't a drive for the faint of heart! You're talking a seriously steep climb – almost 3,000 feet in just 14 miles! Get ready for some sharp curves and a real workout for your engine. But trust me, the views are SO worth it. You'll be treated to incredible vistas of the Sayula lagoon and valley below, and the scenery is constantly changing. One minute you're cruising through desert scrub, and the next you're surrounded by oak and semi-tropical forests, which eventually give way to cool pine forests as you near Tapalpa. It's like experiencing several different worlds in one short drive.
moderateDriving the unpaved Bajada a Zirupa in Chihuahua
🇲🇽 Mexico
Alright, fellow adventurers, let's talk about the wild ride that is Bajada a Zirupa! Nestled in the mountains of Chihuahua, Mexico, this isn't your average Sunday drive. Forget pavement; this is 18.33 miles of pure, unadulterated gravel. Starting near the town of Madera (aka Ciudad Madera) at a cool 7,200 feet above sea level, you'll descend to the tiny village of Zirupa (or Sirupa), which sits pretty at around 4,900 feet. The views? Stunning. The challenge? Real. Word to the wise: this road laughs in the face of anything less than a 4x4, especially after a rain shower. If you're up for an off-the-beaten-path experience with incredible scenery, Bajada a Zirupa is calling your name.
extremeForest Service Road 447
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventurers, listen up! If you're in Carbon County, Wyoming, and craving a serious off-road challenge, Forest Service Road 447 is calling your name. This isn't your Sunday cruise – it's a wild 5 miles (8km) of gravel, rocks, and enough bumps to test your suspension (and your nerves!). We're talking about some serious altitude here, topping out at 9,809 feet (2.990m). Expect seriously steep grades and incredible views – if you dare to glance away from the trail! Definitely pack your 4x4 and leave your fear of heights at home. This route is strictly for experienced drivers who know their way around unpaved mountain roads. And pro tip: avoid it completely during winter. This road becomes impassable. If it’s wet, the mud can be a real beast. Trust me, the views are worth the white-knuckle drive, but be prepared for an adventure!
