Red Mountain Pass Curves
Enroute to the summit of Red Mountain Pass (11,018') you encounter curves such as these. Winter-time on Highway 550, also known as the "Million Dollar Highway" is an adventure that can quickly turn dangerous and even deadly because of the fast elevation rise, narrow road, sharp curves and the prodigious San Juan snows which often produce dangerous avalanches. And then, there are the "other" drivers to contend with.
