Extreme Off-Roading

Some off-roading can border on suicide.

Don't get me wrong, I own a Jeep and will go off road with the first opportunity. However, some of the following shots stretch the realms of possibility and can be deemed either Photoshop or "simply nuts".

Scary roads do not get "better" than this:
Carhuaz Valley road in Peru on the way to Chavin De Huantar ruins.











Meanwhile in the US mountains...
Flat Iron Mesa in Moab, Utah








Webster Pass - top shelf road










Schofield Pass - Devil's punchbowl with snow








Cliffhanger - Moab, Utah

Santa Fe Peak, Colorado, and switchback road near the top of Mt. Antero






And probably the hairiest of all -
Negotiating top of the Pearl Pass, Colorado, in a thunderstorm
