To make this drive?...think I'll walk. While our armed forces throughout history have relied on Jeeps, I just wouldn't trust one to this extent. The fun begins at the 7 minute mark, and the town a mile below is Telluride CO. Such a beautiful area, always loved the San Juan range otherwise known as the Swiss Alps of the U.S. What possesses folks to risk their lives driving it is a mystery to me, quite a few have died on this mountain goat trail:

Driving at 3MPH? Doesn't seem that bad to me.

I remember finding myself on a hairy path when on our honeymoon in Aruba. It was quite by accident as I think I took a wrong turn on a kinder gentler path we started off on. probably not as bad as the one in the OP but you wouldn't think that if you heard my wife screaming bloody murder at the time. "WTF are you doing? Do you notice there's no other jeeps out here? You're gonna fuckin' kill us, you crazy SOB. Let me out, I want to walk back to the hotel." Ahhhh, good times.

Dirt bike for me please.

Up or down?, that's a 45 degree slope.

Up I would do on a bike, problem is you are only allowed to travel that pass in 1 direction...down.

Yeah, no. I don't do mountain/cliff shit in motor vehicles.... I'd barely feel comfortable on a trail like that on a quad, but only if I was driving. I like feeling in control of the vehicle, being a passenger sucks balls.

I have to do hairy stuff like that for work occasionally. Here is an image from Morocco in the high Atlas. It wasnt quite so terrible in this exact spot, but we would have a tire hanging off further up. But I get paid to do it. Not so much for fun. I enjoy it more when there are no roads and we get to take helicopters.
