winding roads
Twisting mountain routes
Roads that curve and twist rather than following a straight path, typically through hilly or mountainous terrain.
The phrase often carries romantic or scenic connotations: We took the winding roads through wine country.
It can also suggest difficulty or slow progress: The winding roads added an hour to our trip.
