moderateWhere is Abajo Peak?
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! I've got a spot you NEED to add to your Utah bucket list: Abajo Peak! Perched way up high in San Juan County, near the Colorado border in the Manti-La Sal National Forest, this peak hits an elevation of 11,318 feet! What awaits you at the top? Well, besides a bunch of communication towers, you get absolutely jaw-dropping views! Think panoramic vistas stretching across southeastern Utah, Colorado, and even a glimpse of the Four Corners where Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico all high-five. To get there, you'll be cruising on Forest Road 0087 (aka Abajo Peak Road) for about 12.7 miles, starting near Monticello. Fair warning: it's all unpaved, and you'll be climbing 4,196 feet in elevation, so the average gradient is a respectable 6.26%. Most of the road is in pretty good shape, but things get a bit rugged towards the very end. Seriously, you'll want a 4x4 for this one! Keep in mind, Mother Nature dictates the schedule here. Generally, you can hit this road from late June through October, depending on the snow. The Abajo Mountains, locally known as the Blue Mountains, are calling! Trust me, the views are SO worth the drive.
hardSilvertip Basin
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, adventure seekers, listen up! Ever dreamt of conquering a road that scrapes the sky? Then Silvertip Basin in Wyoming's Absaroka range is calling your name. We're talking a lung-busting 10,633 feet (3,241m) above sea level, making it one of the highest drives in the state! Forest Road 1013I isn't for the faint of heart. Picture this: a super skinny, rocky track that climbs like a homesick angel. You'll definitely need a high-clearance 4x4 to tackle this beast. And heads up, this road is typically snowed in from October to June, so plan accordingly. Heights phobia? Maybe skip this one. But if you're brave enough, you'll be rewarded with views that'll make your jaw drop. Just remember, this is an old mine road, so expect a wild, rugged ride, and keep an eye on the weather. Thunderstorms can turn those dirt tracks into a 4x4-only mud bath in a heartbeat!
hardRampart Range Road in Colorado is a hidden gem closed in winters
🇺🇸 Usa
Okay, road trip fans, listen up! You HAVE to check out Rampart Range Road in Colorado. Nestled right on the edge of Douglas, Teller, and El Paso counties, inside Pike National Forest, this beauty winds along the forested crest of the Rampart Range. This isn't a paved paradise, folks. It's all unpaved goodness, but don't worry, you don't *need* a 4x4. Any car can handle it. BUT if you've got an off-roader or dirt bike, prepare for a playground! Seriously, the trails are calling your name. Keep your eyes peeled, though! Things can change quickly, there are natural hazards, and you'll definitely encounter other vehicles. It gets a little steep in spots, with grades hitting up to 11%. Officially known as Forest Service Road 300, this north-south route runs for about 38.4 miles (61.79 km) from Highway 67 (between Sedalia and Deckers) all the way up to Woodland Park. You'll climb to a cool 9,436 feet (2,876m) above sea level. Heads up: it's usually closed from December 1 to April 1 for the winter, so plan accordingly. Built way back in the 30s, there are NO services along the way, so pack your snacks and fill your tank. What you *will* find are incredible views of Pikes Peak, the plains, and the Front Range and Tarryall Mountains. Think quiet camping, awesome mountain biking, and even one of the last fire lookouts at Devils Head. This is a Colorado gem!
