Cannibal Canyon. Yep, Cannibal Canyon.
Red Bull writes: “Cut through the granite of the Sierra Nevadas so that travelers could reach California from the East, Donner Pass has become widely known as one of the most perilous mountain routes in the world. It wasn’t always called Donner Pass. It was named that after a group of westward-bound pioneers in 1846 who found the trail blocked by snow. They were forced to try and survive the winter in the eastern shadow of the mountains — only half of them did, many of them having eaten the dead for survival.”
Would you cruise Cannibal Canyon? Louis Pilloni, A.J. Haiby, Jimmy Riha, Micah Green and Jackson Shapiera did. And without the loss of even ONE limb…but that’s not for lack of effort.
“While the scenery is beautiful, Donner Pass will eat you alive with the massive cracks trying to toss you off your skateboard,” Pilloni tells Red Bull.
Imagine 2.4 miles of a 2000-foot elevation drop winding through the mountains where you reach speeds of 50 miles per hour. Heavy, we know.
