hardCrossing the iconic Lions Gate Bridge in British Columbia
🇨🇦 Canada
Cruising through British Columbia? You HAVE to experience the Lions Gate Bridge! Seriously, this isn't just a way to get from A to B, it's a total movie-worthy moment (literally, it's been in tons of films!). This suspension bridge clocks in at a whopping 1.8 kilometers (5,890 feet), making it the longest in Western Canada. Opened way back in 1938, it's got some history too! Keep your eyes peeled for the stunning views as you cross. It's one of those drives you won't forget!
hardWhere is Steens Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: you're cruising along Steens Mountain Loop Road in southeastern Oregon, a 27.1-mile unpaved adventure starting near the charming town of Frenchglen (right off OR-205). This isn't just any drive; you're tackling Oregon's eighth-tallest mountain! The road winds its way up, gaining a whopping 5,541 feet in elevation. While most of the gravel surface is in great shape and totally doable in a regular car, there's this one short, narrow, and steep section near Big Indian and Little Blitzen gorges that'll keep you on your toes. Typically, you can hit this route from mid-June to October, but keep an eye on the weather. This mountain is no joke – expect rapid temperature swings, potential snow anytime, and those classic high-desert winds. But trust me, the views are *insane*. We're talking massive gorges, endless panoramas, and stunning spots like Wildhorse Lake and Keigor Gorge. You'll gain access to Steens Summit, but fair warning, the top has cell towers and such. Still, this area offers incredible volcanic landscapes, wild rivers, and a crazy diverse range of wildlife. Just watch out for ticks, mosquitoes, and rattlesnakes during the warmer months! Seriously, this is a rugged, off-the-beaten-path Oregon experience you won't soon forget.

Okay, picture this: You're cruising through the Andes on the Carretera Central in Peru. This bad boy stretches for about 220 km (137 miles), linking Lima to La Oroya. We're talking serious elevation changes, climbing from almost sea level in Lima to over 4800 meters (nearly 16,000 feet!) at Ticlio Pass – so get ready for some potential altitude sickness. The views? Absolutely epic. Think snow-capped peaks, dramatic valleys, and tiny villages clinging to the mountainsides. But hold on tight – this isn't a Sunday drive. Expect hairpin turns that'll make your stomach flip, narrow lanes barely wider than your rental car, and the occasional truck barreling towards you. Oh, and landslides and rockfalls are a real possibility, especially during the rainy season. Keep your eyes peeled and your wits about you! This road is truly an unforgettable experience.
hardWhy is it called Mount Norquay?
🇨🇦 Canada
Okay, picture this: you're in Banff National Park, Alberta, ready for a quick jaunt up Mount Norquay. This mountain, named after a Manitoba premier, is calling your name! The Mt Norquay Scenic Drive is a fully paved road that snakes its way up to the Norquay Ski resort. It's only 5.8 km (3.6 miles), but don't let that fool you. You'll climb 318 meters with an average gradient of 5.48% plus tackle six seriously sharp hairpin turns (watch out for loose gravel!). Now, a secret for the adventurous: there's a super steep, unpaved service road north of the resort that climbs even higher, but that's a story for another day! Is it worth the drive? Absolutely! The views are incredible, especially of the town of Banff nestled in the valley. Sure, fog can happen, but catch it right, and you might see some alpenglow. Keep your eyes peeled for mule deer and bighorn sheep along the way. The best lookout is said to be at the meadow at the end of the road, but remember: this is grizzly country, so be aware!
