I lived in Tahoe for years, navigating passes with black ice and blowing snow...I'm surely an amateur when it comes to these. I'll "enjoy" vicariously on RUclips, thank you very much!
What inspired you to decide to settle in Tahoe and how. Are you adapted to the challenges of harsh terrain? Also, what makes you interested in watching extreme trail videos on RUclips, based on your first-hand experience with similar conditions?"
---- just gotta love these factual, not dramatized videos ---love the way they show footage shot from and showing tour buses, heavy trucks, and minivans while proclaiming " only cars capable of making it are those with four-wheel drive "
Áll made a long time ago by our ancestors with blood sweat tears and more tears..Working hard and get almost nothing....Squeezed like a lemon by an extremely wealthy and cruel government, like today so. Stay grateful and ..Do not forget them... LOVE to you all.
Your statement is mostly true, if a bit melodramatic. However, I can guarantee that none of MY ancestors built these roads. I prefer to give credit where it's due, and that is to the people living there at the time who did all the hard, backbreaking work, not to my ancestors, who did other kinds of backbreaking work right here in America.
Watching these roads brought back a memory I’ll never forget. A few years ago, I took on the Taroko Gorge Road in Taiwan with my dad. As the cliffs loomed and rocks tumbled, we held our breath, laughing nervously at how close we were to the edge. It wasn’t just a drive; it was a bonding experience with a mix of fear and awe. The beauty of nature and the thrill of the challenge-it’s a memory etched forever. Who else has conquered a road that felt like an adventure of a lifetime?
I am a New Zealander, Skippers Canyon road is so bad, insurance companies won't cover you if you have an accident on it. However, I don't think they have the number of deaths on it right. 1st off, we'd hear about it, NZ is not so big that 180+ deaths on it wouldn't be common knowledge. Aside from that, what was 2020? Oh that's right, 1st year of covid, wasn't nobody coming to visit, and I can't see enough kiwis going there to get to 180+ deaths by accident on it.
16:50 the narrator says that 185 people lost their lives in 2021 on Skipper's Canyon Road, New Zealand. This is false. No one lost their lives on that road in 2021, in fact, there were not even any accidents on that road! That was HALF the road death toll for the entire country of New Zealand that year, when the stats were being collated.
I just looked it up and watched an 11 year old video of a POV on a persons helmet while they were riding their motorcycle on it!!!! The turns must have been so much fun! Thanks for the suggestion!🤗
The Yungas Road is not really used anymore by cars. It's now mainly used for downhill mountainbiking (which I did this year) and some locals who are living here. A newer road took over the role of the Yungas Road and all traffic is using this road. Moreover, a mudslide covered the road making it impossible for vehicles to cross the entire road. So that's why there's barely any motorized traffic here.
*Note: The first image of the video section is actually a different road. The road that is focused on in this video does not go along the coast.* Went on the one in Taiwan a few months ago, and it's absolutely beautiful. I rate that entire road a 100/10. That trip made April 18th 2022 the best day of my life so far. On that road I always see signs that warn about falling rocks, and I often see news about boulders damaging the road. However these incidents usually happen during rain, typhoons and earthquakes, and as long as you avoid these when going there, you're mostly fine. Still, watch out and be careful! (I was expecting to see that one when I clicked on this video, and sure enough, it's there.)
A bit difficult to "avoid" the earthquakes. I was in a 6.5 on the Taroko Gorge road 37 years ago before it was developed. If you look very carefully across the gorge you can see indigenous cave dwellers on the side of the cliffs. It is the ideal place to study the concept of empty space in Chinese painting.
I worked along the Dalton Hyway for 15 years driving a few hundred thousand miles and it is a easy to drive. There is a road in Irian Jaya Indonesia that a mining company owns that is pretty challenging. In one place you climb a 1,000 feet a miles for six miles. I spent 8 months there and drove if a lot.
@@Respectus786 The nice thing about the Dalton Highway is there isn’t a lot of traffic. In the winter you can see most oncoming vehicles for miles before you pass them.
Mi coglie una gran paura nel vedere il coraggio di queste persone che affrontano i mille pericoli di queste che chiamano "strade". Complimenti a loro ed un augurio di buon viaggio da Luciano il perugino (Italia) 🍀🍀🍀
It was good to learn that none of them was in my neck of the woods. I don’t plan to be any where close to any of those roads. The closest I have come to a road similar to any of these was in New Mexico. It was a narrow two lane gravel road without railings to keep one from taking a nose dive down a cliff. But it was maintained. If my memory is correct it was a 30 to 40 mile trip. I was told it was about a 2 hour drive, and it was.
I'm going to Hawaii soon and I will be driving the Road to Hana. One of the locals told me people say its either the scariest or most beautiful drive of their life. I'm sure a combination of both. I can't wait!
And if the roads aren't bad enough, the drivers in most of these countries are terrible. They actually believe good luck charms and religious icons on the dash will protect them.
Thanks for the video. BTW NZ's road toll in TOTAL in 2021 was 320 deaths. I can assure you, 125 people did NOT die on Skippers Canyon in 2021. I think 0 people died on Skippers - I can't even remember the last time there was a significant accident on it. I've been down it a few times but I'd never drive it myself, and likely wouldn't go again (too scared of heights and drops).
Yeah, I almost choked on my Milo when I heard this statement..... Im curious where they got this stat from?! Makes you wonder what other BS they say then...
Eerlijk gezegd, wordt ik al eng als ik op een krant sta, dus heb wel alle respect voor diegene, die van deze "wegen" gebruik moeten maken om hun brood te verdienen...ikzelf hou het wel op een leuk bruggetje over een sloot...en dan nog!!
My niece had ridden all of the Road of Bones on her bike as part of the Vladivostok to Moscow Rally. She also holds the Guinness World Record for the highest altitude motorbike ride by a woman.
at 17.55 the voiceover is completely wrong stating "185 deaths on Skippers canyon road in 2021" - the figure of 185 deaths applies as a total on ALL rural roads in New Zealand, not that road!
I just watched this video and subscribed to your channel am impressed but I did not see "serra da leba" from Angola try to check it out and make a new documentary. This video was amazing.
Canada's most dangerous roadway is also the most scenic. The Sea-To-Sky connecting Vancouver to Whistler. The road is so scenic, that tourists are constantly taking their eyes off the road resulting in head on collisions. That's when a landslide isn't closing it or it being washed out in heavy rainfall. When I was a cop working in that area years ago, it seemed we were attending a serious motor-vehicle accident there on a daily or nightly basis, or both.
Is that the only way from Vancouver to Whistler? I don't recall what road we took but it was gorgeous. Whistler-Blackcomb is jaw-dropping spectacular...difficult to focus on the skiing with all all that amazing scenery...and I lived in Tahoe!
They really need to invest in remote control Go-Pro attachments that you can place on the side of your window - the gyro keeps the image clean and you can rotate to your liking - that way the driver can concentrate on driving and watch the view at night
I have driven the Pan American Highway many times when I was stationed in Panama in the 80's...sometimes it's clear sailing...but mostly it's a one way disaster waiting to happen...I never encountered any nefarious people along the way, but imagine LA traffic on one lane...
#15 - is not dangerous by any stretch, especially when compared to mountainous roads that are barely a lane wide, prone to landslides, avalanches and getting washed out with monsoons. the atlantic highway is an asphalt paved multilane highway with turnouts, viewpoints, and guardrails.
So far there has been only one fatal accident along the Atlantic Road and it had nothing to do with the road itself. Back in 2013 a tourist stopped by the road to watch the view, slipped and fell into the ocean.
Indeed. Have driven it more times than I can count. In full storm as well. It really is not dangerous nor does it test your fear of heights more than any normal bridge. It is dangerously beautiful though :)
News flash, guardrails will NOT keep you from going over the side. In SOME rare circumstances it might slow you down, but they are really there to help you know where the edges are.
Awesome! "It remains as thin, narrow and horrifying..." 🤣 Those views are Amazing. Some of those are definitely Trails and not roads. You can take a motorized vehicle on a trail, but that doesn't make it a road 😂 it just makes you an idiot with a death-wish, or really really desperate. The dirt bikes were totally appropriate for those thin "roads". It really looks like a free-for-all on some of them and, while I hate to hear of people dying in such a preventable circumstance, they could def take more precautions. It is kinda startling and somewhat refreshing to know that, in this day and age, not all places of this world are over-developed. They could def use some barriers and reflectors on their Trails though. Those folks got Way more guts than I do, that's for sure. Great episode !!
My friend told me he was in Yakutia and passed that road. He was asleep on a backseat and when opened his eyes asked: "when will we reach Lena river?" And he was answered that they go ON Lena for last half an hour. "But there's snow fields left and right and no river" he said. Then they told him "we are approximately in the centre of Lena and there're about two miles to a shore on each side" He was shocked and scared. He said they passed about 30 miles by the river
Certainly some of these roads look super dangerous. I am afraid of heights, and so I probably wouldn't even go near half of them. However, I have travelled the Taroko Gorge roads several times, and yes, while they are a little narrow, lots of blind corners, and subject to rock falls, if I can do it, most would have no problems. So, when I see how the Taroko Gorge roads are a little overrated here, it makes me wonder about some of the others. (Before the roads were upgraded they were a lot more dangerous and probably worthy of the list, but all the shots here are of the newer road, and some of the coastal road, which by nature cannot be a gorge road.) The Norwegian bridge did not appear as high as it was made out to be. Also, the Fairy Meadows road, while it looked harrowing, and I would not even walk it, I can't help but wonder... In the video it said that cars had to be left at some point and the rest done on foot. So, is there like a huge car park where all the cars are left while people complete the journey on foot? I'm assuming they will walk back to their cars at a later date and drive back. Hmmm. One of the things that makes these roads dangerous, any road for that matter, are the impatient, dangerous drivers. Example @4:10. Can't wait to pass, so squeezes by on a blind corner. We've traversed roads that are pretty safe in general, except when the quarry trucks come round blind corners crossing the double yellow lines. (e.g. the coastal road referred to earlier)
I drove the snow covered road from Sarajevo to Tuzla in Bosnia...in a Zastava...What used to be be sold in the U.S. as the Yugo...It was two hours of tedious hillside driving...
17:55 I am a Kiwi, and I need to know where the hell you got that stat for Skippers Canyon? .... because like hell 185 died in 2021 alone! That's like the stat for road deaths in ALL OF NZ for the year!!!? Are you meant to say 185 died over ALL TIME since the creation of Skippers Rd?! Please correct your mistake.
I think it's because , some countries,some cities ,some villages ( any where in the world ) can not afford to build bridges.SO thay make roads as best as they can with the" land " they do have and make what ever road thay can until they can do better . 😁
Well, some people have been living in some of these areas because of some valuable resources long before cars and modern engineering have existed, gold in Peru for instance and the silk road in India and Pakistan, so they build roads to be able get to work and feed their loved ones, a penny in the UK can't even buy a bread but it can feed a family elsewhere...
Could include 904 in WA State. Students driving with heads down texting at 60 mph on 2 lane inches off your bumper. Ill take my chances on some of these high desolate roads.
A road in Hawaii was the scariest road i ever been on. It was like one mistake you are dead. The road was so narrow i thought every time a car came by i thought we was going to crash. I thank God we survived and made it too
You should mention the Managng Road in Nepal, that stretches about 100 Kms with the highest elevation of approx 4000 meters, terribly cliffy but scenic with water falls that sweeps away the road, and the tall snowy mountains by the side of the road.
Excellent documentation. Thank you for putting it together.

I think it's because , some countries,some cities ,some villages ( any where in the world ) can not afford to build bridges.SO thay make roads as best as they can with the" land " they do have and make what ever road thay can until they can do better . 😁
You always got to get places.
AMAZING VIDEO
The only reason maybe coz they just cannot live anywhere else. Either that or they are just too adventurous and think they're still monkeys.
Well, some people have been living in some of these areas because of some valuable resources long before cars and modern engineering have existed, gold in Peru for instance and the silk road in India and Pakistan, so they build roads to be able get to work and feed their loved ones, a penny in the UK can't even buy a bread but it can feed a family elsewhere...
Could include 904 in WA State. Students driving with heads down texting at 60 mph on 2 lane inches off your bumper. Ill take my chances on some of these high desolate roads.

No way Jose. The bridge to the Florida keys is good enough for me.
Narrator sounds like David Hayter... I keep expecting him to mention a road to surpass metal gear.
You should mention the Managng Road in Nepal, that stretches about 100 Kms with the highest elevation of approx 4000 meters, terribly cliffy but scenic with water falls that sweeps away the road, and the tall snowy mountains by the side of the road.
