You people are crazy

I can hardly believe there aren't guardrails. Once you start sliding, you can bail but you might not make it. Your passenger on the right side, stands a better chance of the bail as soon as the vehicle starts sliding! I'm thinking of the time when I was on a road like that and hit black ice! That frozen snow actually gives your tires something to grab onto!

How fast are you going? Seems pretty fast.

Dude, got an email? I don’t do FB anymore

I drove this in tractor trailer hauling groceries for City Market on a regular basis all 4 seasons. An experience I shall never forget. Many stories to be told.

I should've seen this video before trying to drive through there earlier 😂

Going downhill is even more risky. Shift your car into low if you're automatic, or into second if your using a stick. My opinion is that anyone driving Colorado needs a stick. Bottom line, that winter scenery is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this.

all the traffic seems to be coming from where you're going

Your crazy to drive on a 😮frozen road

I would be sweating bullets and white knuckles the whole time!

Jesus lead me away from the cliffs edge one afternoon. Driving home to Montrose from building houses in Telluride. 🙏

How is love Colorado ❤️

Be very careful, go slow, pray. Or stay home.

No way would I drive this in winter time. But I definitely would in the summer. Windows down sunroof open and music up. Beautiful scenery though.

Not a stranger to driving in the snow but I like flatter terrain without the cliffs to fly off if you get a little off the edge of the road. Mostly stay in Indiana in the winter. I'd be completely out of my element in Colorado. No ditch to safety when another driver gets in your lane. No way out!

What’s the name of the second song? 🧐

I did it too. In April, 1973. It was very very scary. Dreadful. There were huge icicle hanging from the cliffs

Beautiful, but scary

Me too except I was driving south to Silverton and visibility was only about 20 feet in a Taurus, took me about 20 minutes to get out of the car when I got to Durango my ass was puckered to the seat...

I'm not a truck driver but I have talked to several OTR drivers in Michigan and they told me that the little over the road training that the newbies get and then put out on the road by themselves is not enough training and there are roads in California that would make a new driver quit and leave his truck on the side of the road.

I lived in Silverton for a year. Avalanches on 550 to both the north and the south closed off the town for a week. It was sunny and in the 30s, but we couldn't get out.

I drove over Red Mtn Pass in one hell of a snow storm back in the early “80’s”. Scary but I made it to Montrose, Co 💜

I’ve driven Red Mountain many times and there is no way in hell I would do it in a storm.

I’ve done that road a couple times at 2:00 am in the morning in blinding snow storms. Don’t recommend it !

Slow and easy! :-)

КЛАССНО БЕЛО СУПЕРСКИ! 👍🏻🇷🇺

Was this near collbran?

OMG I drove that road a month ago and I was terrified. Doing it in a snowstorm NO F,,ING WAY I would stay in Silverton until summer

Awesome video brother! I was hoping to see the flow in the stream though; how noticeable was the increase in flow dude?

0:44 That is the most dangerous turn going north/Downhill of the whole pass.

My pucker factor has been high on this stretch of 550 during the several times I've driven it in the summer months. It'd be off the chart under these conditions.

That Loverboy was jamming and living in Colorado, you have guts.

Isn't that Highway 550?

JayRM - We just moved here a year and a half ago, and the guy at the General Store at Cimarron told us they couldn't open all 4 gates anymore, it damaged the settling pond the first time they did. I caught 1 floodgate last week, and when we went to the Black Canyon on Sunday, a ranger told us 2 gates were open, so we went over to see that, and now this!

We were up there this morning (5/25) and the river is bank full. I understand the last time the spillways were open this far was 20 years ago.

Beautiful
