Note, this is the pass that all of the women in my family are scared of, so I consider it a major accomplishment, especially since just three months ago I was scared to drive on any mountain pass.

I'll admit this is a very unnerving stretch right here...

Jay and another unknown guy were riding their motorcycles right in front of me. A moron passed me and was riding right on the unknown guy's rear. It was quite scary and I wonder if that idiot was trying to kill someone. At least that kept me distracted from the fear of flying off the mountain.

Is it single lane or a two-way road? That bend in the road looks like the end of the road.

Reminds me of a part of Route Napoleon in France. That scared me to bits.

So it's definitely a 2-way road. Lots of fun.

All of Highway 550 from Durango to Ouray is fun to drive, but especially Red Mountain Pass. In summer, anyway.

I had a heart attack going up to Mt. Evans, I can't imagine this one *shakes, shivers*
