Those are a few of the dangerous spots in Montana you might have to deal with while driving, but the most treacherous road in Montana is a stretch of highway that can be brutal at any time of the year.

A to Z Animals thinks that one part of Montana's Highway 12 from Garrison to Helena is treacherous. This part of Highway 12 deals with hairpin turns, constant speed changes, and a steep slope for truck drivers.

MacDonald Pass is a crucial part of this stretch of Highway 12 and has seen constant accidents throughout the year. This road is dangerous when drivers try to pass other vehicles when they shouldn't. This part of Highway 12 is a two-way highway and doesn't have much of a shoulder for people to get off.

The worst part about this road is MacDonald Pass doesn't get plowed as much as it should during the winter. These events can turn Highway 12 into an icy nightmare.

This problem can be attested to many of Montana's roads and highways during the winter. You have to be careful.

If you are traveling through Montana any time soon, you might want to avoid this part of our state.
