This is called the Lions Back. It is in Utah. The video clip above is in car footage of a 4WD coming down. Spectacular views but very scary stuff. They claim the last bit is a 68 degree slope. The second clip is worse as it is footage of someone driving up it. Would you be brave enough?

Haha... I didn't finish watching it all... but not at the last part at 68 degree angle..... that's suicidal .

Am with you on that one Tony. Agree with Matt that the challenge would be tempting, but maybe because I am now a 'old tosser', my thoughts are that if something goes wrong, I doubt you would be around to talk about it..

Apparently Lion Back is now closed, but reckon this would be a great drive.....
