mountain roads
Serpentine highland passages
Mountain roads are routes that traverse mountainous terrain, typically characterized by steep grades, sharp curves, switchbacks, and dramatic elevation changes.
They demand careful driving and often reward travelers with scenic views.
The mountain roads were treacherous in winter.
