What is the "Death Road"?

It's estimated that about 300 drivers who dare to make the arduous trek die each year, a statistic marked by the many crosses that stand as memorials along the path. The Yungas Road was built in the 1930s during the Chaco War by Paraguayan prisoners. In 1995, the Inter-American Development Bank christened this highway the most dangerous road in the world. Now, the Death Road has been done before. Going down the Death Road is nothing new. Going up the Death Road is less popular, but still, it's been done. So let's explain what makes this one different.

Impossible Route: FAR WEST TEXAS

"Hey JB, we got the green light to go ahead and shoot season two, so I need the craziest route that you could possibly think of. What do you got?

Well, it's funny you should ask because I've been doing a whole bunch of research on Big Bend. It's the most remote place you could think of. Not only that, I mean, it completely defies what you think of with Texas. 8,000-foot mountains, canyons – I mean, these are very, very ambitious. Several sections go through super steep mountains. There's this abandoned volcano caldera called the Solitario. It's gnarly. I mean, it spans basically two bike-packing routes plus connecting them between that you're supposed to do in like six days. I mean, that's literally the type of terrain. It's really loose, chundry sand, pebbles, cactus – yeah, just wild out there.
