What are the most dangerous roads / mountain passes in the lower 48

“….Parlay going into SLC the one time I had a Trainee go Mental on me and throw it into Neutral Scream WE are going to die….”
West bound if I see one snow flake before Echo, UT I take I-84. East Bound if I see one snow flake before I-15 I take I-84 which is only 11 miles more but seems like 50. Summer time it is no problem unless there is road construction.


The wind around Elk Mountain is of more concern because you can get an extra strong gust that will require an underwear change. The speed limit in Wyoming in bad areas is variable which has helped. Before the speed limit was changed to variable it was fixed at 75 mph, it is not steep.

 

US259 through OK can be fun. US191, US6... has anyone mentioned US50 through the rockies? Anywhere in northwestern AR. But if we are talking notoriety Cabbage, Donner, Snoqualmie, Camp Verde, Monteagle, Fancy Gap.

 

Avoid route 33 in WV to VA. Lol. That one caught me off guard. It's a "truck route" but not really lol. I decided to try it once with 46k lbs of paper rolls in a truck with crap for a jake. One of the hills was 10% with a. 180 degree hair pin RIGHT at the bottom. I thought I was gonna need to change under pants after that one! And that was on a beautiful spring day! Lol.

 

On most interstates there aren't bad hills. I 70 west of Denver has a few, Donner is sometimes tricky, Cabbage in Oregon isn't bad if you read the road signs. I haven't seen much in the way of "bad" hills east of the Rockies, on the interstate. If you get off of the interstate in West Virginia or western Virginia and you might mess yourself on some of those hills...

 

you have never been over wolf creek that'a obvious those little hills on the east are just that hills

 

try Wolf Creek in Co you will then realize the hills in the east are easy

 

that's the same in the west get off the big road and most east drivers crap themselves

 

ever went over Wolf Creek in the winter it will scare the crap outta anyone sorry I drive it regularly have 27 years and 3 million and still hate that one all winter long

 

Hey Norm....did you notice this thread is from 2013?

 

The popular ones are nothing. They just get annoying after a while. The roads I don't like are the state roads up in hills with two lanes going all squiggly on you having to slow down and make sure no car or semi comes in front before taking both lanes to even make the turn
