I drove this in Aug '23, it is a stunningly beautiful highway. The San Juan Mountains are every bit as beautiful as RMNP in my opinion. Drive the speed limit and avoid distractions, there are plenty of pullovers if traffic backs up behind you or if you just want to take in the fabulous views.

Being from another state, I don't miss out driving 550 when I am enjoying the San Juan's. Drive slowly, keeping to your side of the road, watch for a crazy driver (never encountered one yet up there), and stop at pull-offs to relax and enjoy the scenery. The butt-pucker level can be high. Maybe that's why the tractor/trailer are parked in the southbound lane!! After you reach the mountain valley, the highway can be driven more relaxed. Except for a few hairpin curves on the Silverton side. Hope the drone wasn't lost in that creek waaay down there!

Amazing aerial footage! This stretch of highway looks absolutely jaw dropping! But since this is only a 2:00 minute video I assume the entire 25 mile stretch of this highway is not a cliffhanging, guardrail-less, white knuckle test of nerves? After seeing other videos it looks like this is the most fun section (or scariest) depending on your perspective?

I think this is the road I had driven from Colorado to New Mexico (where the road was in much needed repair). Nerve wracking for me (I was driving a cargo van). Didn't help that on the NM side, I had to watch out for cows and at one point a falcon, or whatever bird of prey, flew right in front of me while it was getting dark. Between that road and driving up that mesa in Utah, I'm cool on taking the backways of out west, lol.
