My parent’s did the “troll road” in Norway in the late 50’s with their ‘54 Cadillac that they shipped over with them.

That one in Italy looks like the one I drove in a rental VW (Passat??) when I vacationed for a bit when my parents were over there on a long vacation. My mom was scared stiff at her 20-something son driving!

The Moki Dugway in Utah is spectacular. The road is gravel with no guardrails for the most part. And the views from one of the turnouts was incredible.

I drove it in November and the long views of a panorama of red rock buttes and mesas marching to the horizon with the big snow peaks in Colorado 75 miles away was awesome.

Pike’s Peak would probably have me wimpering in the floor boards like a baby. I’m terrified of heights. I got pretty white knuckled a few years ago driving in Yellowstone. I could not drive in the Northwestern part of the park. Road was carved out of a canyon wall with overhanging(and sometimes dropping) rock overhead.

Mt. Evans in Colorado. Sheer terror. Sharp turns, narrow roads, and make a little mistake and plunge thousands of feet. At one point we saw skid marks going over the edge. One trip was enough for me.

If you are in Arizona and want to go for a scenic drive and are not afraid of drop offs take Highway 191 from Clifton, Az to Alpine, Az. It is 100 miles and takes at least three hours to drive it. Plan to spend more than three hours on this trip- you will want to stop to look at all the wildlife. You may see bighorn sheep, you will nearly always see deer, turkey, etc. There is little traffic and the deer, turkeys, etc. get all over the road. We lived on a ranch below Hannigan Meadow at one time (as the crow flies) and this was our road home.
