The road climbs into high country, surrounded by peaksthat top 12,000 feet. Be prepared for high-altitude conditions and rapid weather changes, especially in spring and fall.
Restrictions
This road is usually closed in winter, from mid-October through late May, due to heavy snowfall and mountainous terrain.
