After reading some of the reviews, I was on the verge of not attempting this drive. I am SO glad that I did not give in to my misgivings! Yes, there aren't many guardrails; yes, the road doesn't have much of a shoulder before falling away; and yes, there are many switchbacks. But this road is not "treacherous" or "dangerous"... More

This is a gorgeous drive overlooking many spectacular views! We have driven this highway several times, and I never tire of it's beauty. If you are planning a vacation to Colorado, add this to your list of scenic drives. More

My mom, dad, sister and I had heard so much about the drive to Ouray,we had to do it! The drive is stunning! We must have stopped 30 times to take photos and that was just en route to Silverton- we loved this cute town! The drive to Ouray was spectacular......I have been to a lot of Colorado towns, but...

I offered to drive which caused him to have panic attacks ....serious, I am not kidding.once we,made if out we both drank a six... More

I read quite a lot about this road before we took our trip and also looked at some clips on YouTube. I was a bit wary and if it had been a wet day I think I would have gone another way. We set off from Durango (we liked this town - we thought it had quite a frontier feel... More

This is a very scenic drive, but very technical at times: many sharp corners, some cliff edges, and lots of elevation changes. More

I moved to Colorado from Michigan earlier this year and have enjoyed many scenic drives in this area of the country. This is probably the most beautiful so far.
