Are you looking for a white-knuckle drive in a national park? This episode of Exploring the National Parks is for you! We are talking about the scariest roads we have ever driven in the national parks. 

We’ve driven on many roads in the national parks, and a few of them really stand out because of the fear they induced. Join us as we reminisce about our experiences and rank these scary roads! 

Join us as we cover: 

  • The highest paved road in the national park system

  • The road that we don’t have the guts to drive

  • Our favorite road that looks scary but actually isn’t too bad

  • The scariest paved road in the parks

  • The coolest road to drive if you’re looking for adventure

  • The most deceptively scary road we have been on

  • The worst road in any national park!

  • So there you have it – our list of the scariest roads in the national parks ranked! 

    Have you driven any of these roads, or do you have others to add to the list? You can send us a message at DirtInMyShoes.com/podcast and let us know. Safe travels, my friend!
