It's more about how beautiful it is, than how technically difficult it is. The first little bit down, was kind of hair raising, to me. It's steep, and doesn't look wide enough for your tires. My wife told me, "If you move over anymore, you'll knock off the mirror!" I said I didn't care, I could but another mirror.

Lol, shelf roads are nerve racking. I'd hug the wall too. The trail looks gorgeous and I love good scenic route.

I try and run it every year not for the trail but the views. It's amazing!
The wife and boy last year with Telluride in the distance.

Can't wait to do this in September. I've already told my wife, her only job on this trail is to not bother me and take a shit ton of pictures and videos. :cheesy::yup:

I watched that video a few days before I left for Ouray. It had me ROLLING on the floor I was laughing so hard. I'm sure she's a really nice lady, but her accent and the way she kept saying "more to the right!" just had me dying. :cheesy:

Are you sure Siri took you up the mountain, or is that just what you told your wife? :rolleyes2:

Be sure to take the Alpine Loop. You can stop at Lake City at a cool ice cream parlor, that used to be an old drugstore.

It definitely has pucker factor. If you have fear of heights dont do the driving.
Agree that imogene more technical. Most important that whole area is breathtaking. Love silverton.

I'll be the first to admit I'm far too terrified of heights to do this trail. I have trouble being on the second rung of a ladder. I get that it's iconic, and it's important but I couldn't trust myself to not freeze on the trail.
