Dangerous roads in Americas
Hi Guys
I'm riding through the Americas soon and filming for TV series. I want to go from Alaska to Argentina and pick up interesting roads. So far I have a few on the list, the interesting one being death road Bolivia among several others. The Dalton highway is mentioned as well. Is there any in Western side of USA I should add to the list? Thanks |
I found this site a few weeks back, it might have some roads that might interest you.

No dangerous roads in Northern California. Not much to see here either. Best get down to So Cal. Very dangerous roads.
(they call them Freeways!) If you do find dangerous California roads ... please do not name them in your film. Let riders find them by themselves! All the dangerous roads are in Colorado. Head EAST mate! |
Chile
I wouldn't call it dangerous, but the road from Puerto Montt to Chile Chico, Chile, is very beautiful. You have to take a few ferries, but it was much better than riding in the wind in Argentina. The best bit is around Lake General Carrera.

Creel, Urque, Batopilas to Guachochi. Not to be missed! P/S the guns n thugs were real! |
The OP asked for "dangerous" not "best" roads.

My idea would be that we all skip the direct insults, while trying to stay civil in disagreeing about the issues….whatever they are.
Thanks. Mark |
Oh how could I forget the Tail of the Dragon? It's between Tennessee & South Carolina (but you aren't headed all the way over there...)
This road is dangerous in that it's notorious so every joe schmo wants to have a crack at it. There is a tree of shame festooned with crashed bike parts in the middle. The road itself is not that bad, very nice & twisty but good paved tarmac. We rode it at night when it was nice n empty and naturally came upon a biker who had just gone down. (He was fine) |

It may be outside your original route but you might want to search Google 'images' for Shafer Trail in Utah. It's about 30kms West of Moab, Utah. I rode it a few years ago on an 800gs and my knuckles were white, all the way. I don't like heights which of course, was the whole point of riding it. Utah is spectacular. If Shafer Trail interests you, message me and I'll send you or post GPS coordinates. I also did a 20 minute video of it. All the best on your trip.

El Espinazo del Diablo / The Devil's Backbone between Durango and Mazatlan in Mexico is still hairy but is no longer as dangerous as it once was.
