Description: Snake Alley, located in Burlington, Iowa, is famously known as the "Crookedest Street in the World." Constructed in 1894, this unique street features a series of sharp, winding turns that span a distance of 275 feet, with a rise of 58.3 feet from bottom to top. The alley's distinctive design, which includes five half-curves and two quarter-curves, was intended to provide a more manageable route for horses and carriages navigating the steep hillside. Paved with limestone and blueclay bricks, Snake Alley has become a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors who are eager to experience its serpentine path and historical charm.
