4Skippers Canyon Road, New Zealand

Skippers Canyon Road in New Zealand is a scenic but dangerous route that cuts through the mountains near Queenstown. Originally built during the 19th-century gold rush, this narrow, winding road hugs the cliffs of Skippers Canyon, with sheer drops on one side and towering rock walls on the other.

The road is so precarious that rental car companies often refuse to cover insurance for travelers who choose to drive it. Despite the risks, the stunning views of the canyon and surrounding landscape make it a popular destination for adventurous tourists.
