S Curves !
Reverse image search reports this road as being in Colorado -

To gradually gain elevation. What we call “kiss your own a**” curves.

Kinda looks like the east side of Sonora pass. (one hell of a good MC ride !)

"one hell of a good MC ride !" ... that was my first thought !
Good on horseback, too ! (on dirt shoulders)

Yes, I know I need adult supervision, but my 3rd thought: Great road for chicken race _
Two cars, engines off, in neutral. Push off and see who has the fortitude not to use the brake all the way to btm. ... a third vehicle would follow and watch for brake lights. 😋😆😎

See if you can find a good image of the Greer Grade in Idaho. I can attest to how fun that one is to drive. Hint: it's exactly no fun in a fire engine. ETA: well here you go. Maybe not smooth S shapes but nice and twisty for sure:

Here's a fun section of Rattle Snake Grade coming down from Anatone into NE Oregon.

@ MP,although it's been decades since I've been in the area, I was born in Orofino.
Well, I am guessing you're pretty familiar with the Ahsahka and Greer grades then. :) My wife grew up just up on 3 Bear Rd. and I'd wager you've ventured up there a time or two.

I thought this was going to be about Wonder Woman, the Carter version.☺️

I'm sitting here about 9 miles SE of Greer grade right now. You want a cow trail, look for the road across the Lolo just SE of the grade.

SW VA, down around Hungry Mother State Park, is a road like that. Going thru one foggy morning, realized the brake lights ahead of me were my own.
That is one CROOKED road!!

I did this one pulling a 30 foot camper.

If you enjoy curves and yet a beautiful drive , you might try highway 12 between Lolo and Kooskia

Lolo Pass. We'd ride all the way down from Spokane on our sport bikes to see who could get across the pass quickest. My 750 held the record for several years, but not with me riding it! 😲

It's a beautiful drive but don't forget your fishing pole. Most of the Lochsa is catch and release with some very nice trout in it.

And with a little different perspective:
We have traveled this several times leaving Chief Joseph Days in Joseph Oregon to hit highway 12 at Lewiston and visit an old buddy in Kooskia Idaho then pop across the Lolo and hit hwy 93 down to Salmon and then home.
I was just glad the wife wasn’t barrel racing and I had to drag the big trailer across it.
I would have with no issue but it would just be a PITA ( pain in the ***).
I have crossed the Beartooth pass that Susie posted many times, both are sure thrills for flatlanders making first peewees big adventure in to the mountains.

Made the trip from Red Lodge to Cody by Bear Tooth.
When we got to Red Lodge from Bozman we could see cars way up on the mountain following a real winding road. Told the
wife "I want you to look how crooked that road is". Not long after that we knew just how "crooked" it was.

The road from Warm Lake to Landmark is the road that my friend decided that his gasser pickup ( Tundra ) was no match for Idaho backcountry. When he returned home he traded it off for a diesel with real power.

as a kid I truly wanted to move back to Tennessee when I got older , after I got older and married and we got use to convivence of every thing so close and 10 minutes away well , circling up and down a mountain' for 12 miles to go one mile as the crow fly's changed my mind a bit .
I still love the south and now that i seldom go any where I could deal with it now ( Ok maybe ) add in since I was a kid so many fast food and stop and shops and dollar stores have popped up every where not like it was way back when LOL
well i bet most of our parents ( if not some of us ) walked a similar road or path every day to school barefoot in two feet of snow 🙄

Well, this weekend I went backpacking down in the Eagle Cap wilderness, so I got to traverse the Rattlesnake grade a couple times. It's fine in a pickup but I wasn't setting any land speed records for sure.

It’s Route 16 between Tazewell, Virginia and Marion, Va. Been over there a few times on my Electra Glide. Not far from Burke’s Garden, Va.

That is the peddlers loop out of gatlinburg TN. . It’s narrow but not that twisting.
