I give you the amazing Perilous Cliff Road of Doom [1], as featured in Dangerous Roads of the World, Part 2 [2]. (Via kottke [3].)
Not only is this road incredibly cool, but it fits into any genre — pulp, fantasy, horror, sci-fi, modern, espionage, supers… Seriously, I can’t think of a single genre where this wouldn’t work as a standout encounter site.
And the best part is that if you like GMing with pictures [4], there are plenty of photos of this crazy road to choose from.

That is just a cool location. I’m going to merge that into my current game, as it is conveniently located in a jungle. I might even add the location into canon.

Of all the roads they profiled, I thought this was the coolest by far. The backstory (dug by hand by peasants over the coursre of several years) was interesting as well.

Two words come to mind: Bull Rush.

Amazing photo. It will be perfect to drop in my Eberron campaign when the party heads to Xen’drik.
