hardWhere is Cyclone Pass?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so you're up for a serious off-road adventure? Cyclone Pass in Wyoming is calling your name! Nestled in the Shoshone National Forest, this bad boy tops out at a whopping 10,538 feet, making it one of the highest roads in the state. Forget pavement – we're talking 13 miles of super rough, unpaved road with technical, rocky sections that'll put your skills to the test. You'll NEED a high-clearance 4x4 for this one. Expect some seriously steep climbs too – you'll be hitting some pretty gnarly grades as you crawl your way up. The views? Totally worth it. You'll be treated to incredible vistas of the surrounding peaks. Word of warning: this isn't a year-round kind of trip. The road's usually only open from late June to mid-October because winter turns it into an impassable, snowy wonderland. So plan accordingly and get ready for a wild ride!

moderateWhere is Six Mile Cove?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so you're heading to Lake Mohave, right? Check out Six Mile Cove – it's this sweet little spot in southeastern Nevada, practically kissing the Arizona border. Now, getting there is part of the adventure! You'll be cruising along Mead-Davis Powerline Road for about 6.3 miles, and fair warning: this road is all dirt! It can get pretty washboard-y. Most cars can make it, and RVs do too, but honestly, a 4WD would be your best bet for a smoother ride. Six Mile Cove is popular, especially in the summer, so try to get there early, like a Friday. There's plenty of space on the waterfront and for parking, but keep in mind your cell signal might be spotty out there. Happy travels!
moderateMount Greylock is the Highest Road of Massachusetts
🇺🇸 Usa
Ready for an epic road trip? Head to Mount Greylock in western Massachusetts, nestled in the Taconic Mountains near the New York border. This beauty tops out at 3,491 feet, making it the highest point in the state! Rockwell Road, your path to the peak, is a smooth, paved climb built way back in the early 1900s. This 9.1-mile route kicks off in Lanesborough and winds through lush alpine forests with a few hairpin turns to keep things interesting. Just a heads up: if you're rolling in something longer than 22 feet, you'll have to sit this one out. Notch Road offers another route to the top if you're approaching from the north. The views? Absolutely stunning! On a clear day, you can see for almost 100 miles and soak up a panorama that includes five states. At the summit, you'll also find the Massachusetts Veterans War Memorial Tower and a radio tower. Keep in mind that this road is only open from late May through November 1st, so plan accordingly!
