this road happens to be one they race on and this is the first year it has been paved all the way to the top, probably not totally completed by highway department. The last 5 miles or so were dirt in the past years. If you want a scary highway drive, the million dollar highway in SW Colorado has vertical drops of 100 feet 18-inches from road edge with no guard rails. Scares most and they hug the center line, open during the winter even when snowpacked.
