    Here's a doozy. Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. This dirt road used to be an Indian trail. In many spots is only wide enough for one vehicle so it's up only. You have to come down Trail Ridge Road, which isn't plowed most years until May 31. The last 2 minutes of this video are the best, once they get up above tree line. The music is hideous, but the video is pretty cool. The tall poles you see on the side of the road are for the plow drivers to see where the road is. http://video.search.yahoo.com/video/pla ...

    And here is one on Trail Ridge Road. A 2 hour drive from the west side of the mountains to the east , condensed into 7 minutes. I usually travel the other way since I live on the east side. Hideous music again, and it kind of makes me car sick to watch but there is some awesome scenery in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYbXIhQm63I
    And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes

    gravity hill, pennsylvania

    put it in neutral, and go up the hill

    I remember my dad taking us there. This was the very spot where the expression "what the...?" came from.

    the f part came from somewhere else
    how does this work?

    it's just an optical illusion.

    As much as it looks like it's going down hill, it's not. seems impossible though, don't it?

    Very cool. I think I have heard of that before. But shouldn't it be Anti-gravity Hill? ;)

    yeah--you're right, it should ;)

    yes i figured anti gravity hill was an elusion but i wanted a better answer ... like it actually is defeating gravity for some reason.

    I think the animals even avoid pooping on that hill.
