Year-round
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! You NEED to check out Hardscrabble Mountain in Colorado's Eagle County. Nestled south of Eagle in the White River National Forest, this beast tops out at a cool 10,698 feet!
Forget the pavement – you're in for a 20.7-mile off-road rumble on Forest Road 413 (aka Hardscrabble Mountain Road). Seriously, a 4x4 isn't just recommended; it's essential! Some sections are seriously steep, with gradients hitting 10%.
The views, though? Unreal. Think panoramic vistas of the Sawatch and Gore Mountain Ranges. Just be warned: this is a summer-only kind of trip. Winter? Nope. But trust me, those summer views are worth the wait!

hardA scenic paved road to Guardsman Pass in Utah
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, let's talk about Guardsman Pass in Utah! Nestled high in the Wasatch Mountains, this beauty sits at a cool 9,740 feet above sea level, right on the Salt Lake/Wasatch county line, just east of Salt Lake City. You'll be cruising along Guardsman Pass Scenic Backway (aka Guardsman Pass Road or Utah 190 West), a fully paved 24.2-mile stretch connecting Cottonwood Heights and Park City. And guess what? You can totally do it in your family car! Keep in mind: this road is a fair-weather friend. Typically, it's buried under snow from late fall to late spring, usually opening up sometime between late May and June, and closing again in October. Mother Nature can be a bit unpredictable, so even summer storms can make things dicey. Get ready for some fun! This drive has it all: twists, turns, and some seriously steep sections. Starting from Park City, you'll climb 2,650 feet over 7.07 miles, with an average grade of 7.1%. Without stops, it's about an hour's drive each way, but trust me, you'll want to build in extra time. There's short-term parking and bathrooms at the top. The views are epic, especially in the fall when the aspens explode in orange and yellow, and the oaks turn fiery red. Pack a camera and maybe a picnic basket – you're gonna want to soak it all in!
easyWhy is it called Mount Washburn?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventurers, listen up! Wanna tackle Mount Washburn in Yellowstone National Park? This peak, named after some dude named Henry Washburn from way back when, sits pretty at 10,243 feet. Now, you can't actually *drive* all the way to the top, but you can get close! Head up Chittendon Road, a mostly chill unpaved path (an old wagon road!). It's manageable, wide enough for two cars, though it does throw a 15% grade at you in one spot. From the scenic road, it's about 4.1 miles up to the Chittendon Parking lot. You can drive about 1.3 miles on Chittenden road, ending at 8,743 feet above sea level. Park your ride and then you've got 2.8 miles left to hike or bike to the summit. Keep in mind this road's usually open from late May to mid-October. Up top, there's a lookout tower that's staffed during fire season. Weather can be WILD – think sudden storms with wind, rain, and lightning. Plus, it's bear country, so keep your eyes peeled and give those grizzlies and bison a wide berth. But seriously, the views are SO worth it. From the top, you can see the whole northern part of Yellowstone and, if you're lucky, even the Tetons way off in the distance. People were climbing this thing way back in 1870, so you'll be following in some pretty epic footsteps!
hardWhere is Keystone Mountain?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! You NEED to check out Keystone Mountain in Colorado's Summit County. This road climbs to a whopping 12,063 feet, making it one of the highest in the state. Located south of Dillon, it's about 8.4 miles from the pavement to the top, with a pretty serious elevation gain of 2,713 feet. We're talking an average grade of over 6%, so buckle up! Heads up: this isn't a Sunday drive. The road is unpaved, narrow in spots, and those climbs are STEEP. It can get pretty rocky and rough in sections, too. A 4x4 is definitely recommended! But trust me, it's worth the challenge. At the summit, you'll find the historic Erickson Mine site. Keep an eye out: surveyors have spotted gold in the old ore piles! However, it's not maintained, so don't try to explore. Sadly, it's impassible in the winter. But the views along the way? Absolutely breathtaking. You'll see the whole Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. Seriously, add this one to your bucket list!
moderateWhere is Bennett Peak?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, so you're looking for a real adventure? Check out Bennett Peak in Rio Grande County, Colorado! This isn't your average Sunday drive. We're talking about a totally unpaved road that climbs to a whopping 13,218 feet! You'll find it south of Creede, nestled in the southwestern part of the Rio Grande National Forest. From the starting point at 11,779 feet, it's about 3 miles of rugged, unadulterated driving. Forget smooth asphalt, this is a primitive dirt road all the way, winding through grassy tundra. Be warned, it's above the timberline so expect exposure to the elements. The payoff? Incredible panoramic views from a wide, grassy summit. Word to the wise: this road is completely snowed in during winter. So, plan your trip for the warmer months, and make sure you've got a vehicle that can handle the rough stuff. If your ride isn't up to it, get ready for a hike!
