Driving through the rockies is _terrifying_. It's not just this one road.

  It's also a bit dizzying. Really easy to just get lost in the spectacle of the mountains.

  Driving the Trans-Canada through BC was absolutely terrifying in the 80's; today it's a completely different experience. Twinning it took 25 years (1979 to 2014).

  I remember driving several scary roads out in Colorado. The 210 out to Snowbird in a blizzard and a few others legit made my palms sweaty and I wasn't even driving. As a great plains Midwestern kid, seeing my buddy (who was well familiar with the roads) drive as well as he did in those conditions at least helped a little.
  It just reinforced I didn't have the constitution live out in CO and drive those roads in those conditions.
