Every time you think to yourself that the frontier is gone, remember: Alaska exists.
The land of truly YOLO pilots. Glacier Pilot: The Story of Bob Reeve is a great book about one of the early ones in AK.

Was an incredible experience of immense beauty. Highly recommended.
Then you get to the end of it and it just stops - nothing beyond it but wilderness.
Pretty wild compared to even the Western US where the road network even in the empty parts of Nevada is pretty good and you can cross through it.
In Alaska some roads just end because there is nothing beyond it.
