    Of particular interest to me was Dalton Highway at America's Scariest Drives - ForbesTraveler.com.

    From links on the right side of BLM Alaska: Dalton Highway, it looks definitely like a drive not for the unprepared. It's apparently mostly gravel.

    Some of the more interesting info:

    One of the "Scariest Roads" that was mentioned is "The Tail of the Dragon" (129 highway) going from Chilhowee Lake to Deal's Gap. This is a fabulous road, as are many of the others that were mentioned.
    This road is just a few miles from where I grew up and we used to drive that road all the time. Great Fun!

    Note to self: Save all those drives for next X-Country trip! (except I-15)
    Thanks cwerdna!

    Missing: The road up to Mt. Washington, New Hampshire -- with periodic water stations for blown radiators (not that it would help)

    Briefly described -- Himalayas without a guard rail !
