Oh My God Road near Idaho Springs, Colorado<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not a local or you don’t have much driving experience on mountain passes, better steer clear of Oh My God Road in Idaho Springs. This route got its name for its drop-offs and switchbacks. And despite being a two-way road, it is only about 1 1\/2 cars wide. That leaves very little room for maneuvering an RV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
