Year-round
Okay, so you're heading to Northern California? Let me tell you about Cedar Pass! Nestled in Modoc County, practically hugging the Oregon and Nevada borders (locals call it the Tricorner Region!), this beauty sits at a cool 6,318 feet.
You'll find it in the Modoc National Forest, and guess what? There's a parking lot right at the summit so you can soak it all in.
The whole 16.7-mile stretch, running from Cedarville to Surprise Station, is totally paved, making for a scenic drive on CA-299. But don't get *too* comfy - it's a *challenging* scenic drive! We're talking some serious climbs, with gradients hitting 6% for a good 3 miles.
And speaking of views, being in the Warner Mountains means they're epic! Just a heads up - Cedar Pass is usually open year-round, but those winter months can bring short closures. So, check the weather before you go!

hardWhere is Daylight Pass?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventurers, let's talk Daylight Pass! This stunner of a mountain pass sits pretty high up in California's Inyo County, clocking in at 4,317 feet above sea level. We're talking eastern California, nestled between the Funeral and Grapevine Mountains, practically waving to Arizona, all inside the incredible Death Valley National Park. The drive? Forget about it! Every single bend in Daylight Pass Road (aka Highway 374) serves up a different, ridiculously gorgeous view. And the best part? Tons of spots to pull over, soak it all in, and snap those Insta-worthy pics. The road itself is paved, a narrow two-laner with practically zero shoulder. So, cruise slow and steady, especially on those curves. Speaking of tough stuff, parts of this 33.8-mile route get a bit steep, hitting a 7.4% gradient, so be prepared for that. Oh, and pro tip: if you're heading there between May and September, remember it's going to be HOT – think average temps of 101-116 degrees! The pass connects Beatty, Nevada (a cute little town along the Amargosa River) to Stovepipe Wells, California. It's a drive you won't soon forget.
hardBlackbird Mountain
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, thrill-seekers, listen up! Blackbird Mountain Road in Idaho's Salmon River Mountains is calling your name. This isn't your average Sunday drive, though. We're talking about a legit 4x4 adventure up to 9,058 feet! The road, known as Blackbird Mountain Road, winds through the Salmon-Challis National Forest and is definitely a "treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen" kinda experience. Think gravel, rocks, bumps – the works! You'll need a solid 4x4, and a good dose of confidence because this trail is steep, and heights are involved. Winter? Forget about it. This road is snowed in. Even in good weather, be prepared for potential mud slicks. But trust me, the views from the top – especially near Funnel Lake – are worth every white-knuckle moment. Just be sure you are an experienced off-roader before you even think about tackling this beast!
hardCan you drive to Mauna Loa Observatory?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, picture this: you're on the Big Island of Hawai’i, ready for an adventure up the slopes of Mauna Loa, a massive active volcano. The road you're about to tackle? Mauna Loa Scenic Drive, also known as Mauna Loa Observatory Road. It’s about 17 miles of narrow, paved road carving its way through a seriously otherworldly lunar landscape made of solidified lava. "Mauna Loa" means "Long Mountain" in Hawaiian, and this road lives up to the name! Built in the 1950s, it climbs from around 6,500 feet to over 11,000 feet, all the way to the Mauna Loa Observatory, a super important research facility studying climate change. The road is steep, gaining over 4,600 feet in elevation – that's an average gradient of almost 5%. A 2WD vehicle can handle it, but be ready for some rough patches and potholes, especially at the beginning. Keep an eye out for that thin white "fog line" down the middle – it's your guide when the clouds roll in. The pavement can be barely wider than a car, and the shoulder is basically jagged lava rock, so straddle that line whenever you can to protect your tires. This road can be hazardous, with blind hills and turns. Go slow, be careful around corners, and fill up your gas tank before you go – there are no services at the top! The views are worth it, though! On a clear day, you’ll see Mauna Kea, Kohala, Haleakala (on Maui!), Hualalai, and the saddle at Pohakuloa. You might even spot other islands! But a word of caution: weather changes fast up here. If fog or clouds start to roll in, bail immediately! This road is NOT where you want to be in low visibility. Winter can bring blizzards, high winds, and whiteouts – snow is possible any time of year. High-altitude storms can pop up without warning. And remember, Mauna Loa is an active volcano, with the most recent eruption occurring in 1984. Volcanic eruptions are possible at any time. Be smart, be prepared, and enjoy the ride!
