Make sure your brakes are good before you go down! Be sure to see the photos of the construction at the bottom of the hill. It's a one-way alley.
This is just like the road in San Francisco. Honda woke up and down are you the permission if you wish to drivehonda woke up and down are you the permission if you wish to drive.
This picture does not do Snake Alley justice although I have not submitted another so far--perhaps this Spring. It has five half turns and two quarter turns. It is lined by trees and historic homes. It is one block long but certainly worth seeing if you're in the area.
It is a road unlike any other road. Very unique part of Burlington's history. Fun to see that whole neighborhood there.
Fall stroll down the alley was a visual delight - the highlight of my trip. It was beautiful, peaceful and just what I needed. A bit steep but if taken slow is a great walk
No big deal that we couldnt drive the road, walking was just as neat, maybe better. The road is tiny, more like a walking path and not very long. Neat site to see, but doesnt compare to San Francisco. The view is great from the top...the town must have been really nice at one time. There is great architecture, but like everything else in Iowa, it has been left to erode and crumble.
Such a beautiful road! Seeing it covered in snow with the snowflake lights is even more gorgeous. I even bought a picture from the information center's gift shop!
Start at the top and take the winding trip one block and remember the glory days of Burlington. I remember doing this with my folks in the Packard, so I took my grand kid in my Silverado.
Great trip down a great alley! Make sure the brakes on your vehicle are in good shape! And take your time.
Well worth a visit - beautifully kept and interesting to walk down, or even more interesting to drive down!
