ALWAYS travel this way between Farmington New Mexico and Montrose Colorado w my fiance! Scary as hell for me w my fiance driving it so I drive us now. Scary but beautiful drive. Yesterday we stopped and helped a car that had gone off the side of the road and got the couple back on the road. So many plenty of nice ppl helping slow traffic down and warning the drivers w their hazards on and to be careful as we was pulling them out. Here's a pic of the car we helped get out. This is the pass I'd rather take any day over Red Mountain Pass. The mountains are so beautiful and green and colorful.
Such a beautiful drive especially in the fall when the Aspens are yellow! We drove this pass between Mesa Verde and Telluride and enjoyed it very much
