Hell's Backbone Road is one of the most dramatic stretches of road in the country as it travels along a ridge with a sheer drop on both sides.  It spans a
crevasse on a narrow ridge no wider than the bridge itself. Hell's Backbone Road starts at the Posey Lake Scenic Byway and circles around the rugged Box Death Hollow Wilderness Area, ending three miles west of Boulder. Although some modern highways have since been built, Hell's Backbone remains one of the most dramatic roads in the world. High clearance vehicles are recommended. The gravel and dirt road is closed in the winter. |
