Year-round
Okay, adventure seekers, let’s talk about Stevens Pass in Washington State! Perched way up high in the Cascade Mountains at over 4,000 feet, this baby straddles King and Chelan counties and offers a stunning drive.
Yup, you can totally drive it! Highway 2, also known as the Stevens Pass Highway, will take you right over the top. The whole route is paved, so no need for a 4x4, but keep your eyes peeled because you're cruising through serious mountain country – think Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie and Wenatchee National Forests. Avalanche territory, folks!
The pass stretches for about 36 miles from Skykomish to Coles Corner. If you're just driving straight through, plan on about 45 minutes to an hour to soak in the views. And the best part? It's open all year round, so you can experience its beauty no matter the season! Just remember to check road conditions, especially in winter.

hardHawley Mountain
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, let's talk Hawley Mountain in Idaho's Boise County! This peak hits a cool 7,293 feet, and getting there? Well, that's half the fun. You'll be cruising along Forest Road 340, aka Hawley Mountain Road, for about 10 miles. Picture this: gravel, rocks, and a whole lot of bumpiness. This isn't your Sunday drive! Seriously, road conditions are always changing, and winter likes to hang out here, so mid-summer is your best bet. Trust me, scope out the road ahead before committing – things can get dicey quick. That last fifth of a mile to the lookout is where it gets real – super steep and rocky, so a 4x4 is a MUST. Speaking of the lookout, it was built back in '35 and offers some killer views. But heads up: the drive up is narrow, so watch for oncoming traffic and keep an eye out for those turnouts. Get ready for a healthy dose of vertigo, too! But hey, those views are worth the white knuckles, right?
extremeWhen was the Kern Canyon Road built?
🇺🇸 Usa
Cruising through California and craving a thrill? Kern Canyon Road (Highway 178) is calling your name! This 40-mile ribbon of asphalt stretches from Bakersfield to Lake Isabella in the Southern Sierra Nevada, and it's a wild ride. Built way back in the day (think 1890s to 1924!) to help construct the Kern River #1 powerhouse, this road is now famous for its curves, narrow lanes, and those heart-stopping drop-offs right next to the Kern River. You'll be hugging the turns and white-knuckling it until you hit that sweet four-lane stretch halfway through the canyon. Word of warning: this beauty can be a beast. Kern Canyon Road has a reputation, and not all of it is good. It's known for being dangerous, so stay sharp behind the wheel. Rock slides are a real possibility due to the canyon walls expanding and contracting with the weather. But oh, the scenery! Think rocky cliffs, the dam-controlled Kern River glistening below, and vistas that'll make your jaw drop. Just keep your eyes on the road! One last thing: the Kern River is gorgeous, but treat it with respect. Swimming here is seriously risky due to strong currents, cold water, and hidden dangers. Stay back from the edge, keep a close eye on kids, and never underestimate the power of the river.

moderateMount Constitution is the highest road in the San Juan Islands
🇺🇸 Usa
Orcas Island, Washington is home to Mount Constitution, the highest point in the San Juan Islands! This peak clocks in at 2,411 feet, and getting there is half the fun. Mount Constitution Road, entirely paved, winds its way to the top. It's about 4.7 miles from Olga Road, climbing 1,912 feet with an average gradient of 7.71% and some sections hitting 12%. Expect a few bridges and seven hairpin turns to keep things interesting! Watch out, the signs can be a bit tricky – small and sometimes not ideally placed – so take your time and soak in the views! The road usually stays open year-round (snowfall can close it, so check conditions!), and the weather can definitely play a role. It'll take you around 15-25 minutes to drive to the top without stopping. At the summit, the stone observation tower (Ellsworth Storey's Tower) built in the 1930s offers incredible 360° views of the San Juan Islands, Bellingham, the Cascade Mountains, Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, Anacortes, Port Townsend, and a bunch of cities in the US and Canada! Pack your own snacks and drinks, as there aren't any services up top. Mount Constitution is packed with trails, stunning views, and nearby camping. Plus, it's the second-tallest mountain on an island in the lower 48 states!
