Highway 4 at Ebbetts Pass

Looking for a winding, twisting road with drop-offs that take your breath away, you have come to the right place. Highway 4 over Ebbetts Pass offers exactly this venue. Don't be in a rush to get there, because the road in many places is barely wide enough for one vehicle. Meeting oncoming traffic around a tight bend is a bit of an adventure. This road is only passable in the summer; often it is closed until July depending upon the winter snowpack. When it is closed, the trip to Nevada becomes a longer hike.
