Travel: Million Dollar Highway, 2 of 2

Robert writes, "There were places along this road where the blacktop ends, the treacherous cliff begins. The speed limit I believe was 25mph...I found 10-15 much more agreeable!"

Wikipedia says, "The twelve miles south of Ouray through the Uncompahgre Gorge to the summit of Red Mountain Pass gives the highway its name. This stretch through the gorge is challenging and potentially hazardous to drive; it is characterized by steep cliffs, narrow lanes, and a lack of guardrails; the ascent of Red Mountain Pass is marked with a number of hairpin curves used to gain elevation, narrow lanes for traffic--many cut directly into the sides of mountains."
