Dangerous Roads: Skippers Canyon

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Located in New Zealand the Skippers Canyon Road, is a very scenic road, very scary and narrow.

The road is all gravel and it is 16.5 miles long that was made by by miners 140 years ago. It was built during the gold rush between 1883 and 1890. The road is so narrow that two cars can't pass by each other so if a car is approaching, one of the cars has to back up to a wider spat to pass by. Imagine trying to do that at night with no street lights.

Omg. That scares me. Is one of Fast and Furious sequels shoot here?

I wouldn't want to drive on this road either. I'm not sure if a movie has ever been filmed there.

Indeed. It's like driving with one foot on the grave. Hahaha. Thanks for the pics, btw.
