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

My brother had a hiking accident and they shut down Wolf Creek for about 45 minutes to land the ambulance chopper because even at full throttle the pilot couldn't take the chopper to where we were at. The forest service medics took him down to meet the chopper.

 

Willamette National Forest Highway 58 in Oregon 7% downgrade.. Go from 5400 ft to 800 ft elevation in 30 minutes going 40 mph..
The road gets narrower and narrower day by day with snow fall, it's already narrow enough as it is. Oh ya and hardly any guard rails, you can see tops of 200 ft tall trees basically right next to you and the road.
3-5 trucker fatalities every winter..

 

Wolf Creek Pass is the gold medal winner. Everything else is just a highway.

 

How about salt river canyon in Arizona?

 

Any mountain pass with trucks on it being operated by drivers of this level of incompetence are always dangerous

 

Wolf Creek can be deceptive, especially if your westbound. The East side is a fairly gentle grade and easy going. It's when you start down the west you better gear it down.
Not as bad as it used to be since they widened it. Back in the 60's when it was 2 lane all the way over it claimed a lot of trucks and even more pairs of underwear.

 

Good way to sneak around scales in Arizona..

 

One day I decided to take the scenic route to Quartzsite Arizona from Camp Verde and it wasn't until I saw the restricted signs on Highway 89 South out of Prescott Arizona that I realized I was in for an adventure.
Needless to say I made it down Highway 89 with a 53-foot reefer without any accidents and without any tickets. I'll definitely never do that again.

 

I used to live in the Poconos between Tannersville and Stroudsburg, just west of the Delaware Water Gap heading into NJ. I have seen more overturned tractors there(at least 3-5 per week heading both ways) than I have ever seen in my life combined. Any weather, any time of day, any traffic conditions... I'm not sure what makes it so dangerous, because it feels semi flat in a 4wheeler... But without fail, tractors are on their side every day.

It seems like the most dangerous roads are the ones that you would never believe are dangerous, and that you can't imagine being difficult to navigate in any weather. Then suddenly there's a reefer of Sabretts hot dogs on your little Honda Civic.
