Could You Travel on this Road? - Page 5

I looked at this road on Google Earth -- Wowza, quite a view.

I was thinking I could run on it, but never drive.

Lombard St. in SF was bad enough, and that was pretty short.

This is impressive, though! Cannot imagine how they built the thing.

I kind of like the challenge of mountain roads but the one pictured gives new meaning to "hairpin curve". I've often driven the famous Million Dollar Highway in Colorado as well a a few of the jeep roads. This road is boulevard compared to what it was the first time I went over it as a child. It wasn't even paved back in those days and I was so scared I rode in the bottom of the car.

I wouldn't have a problem with it!

Yes, I could travel on that road. At least it's paved. I've been on some dirt 4-wheel-drive roads that are pretty scary and far more dangerous.

Sure, as long as I am a passenger in the back seat and have been given a sleeping pill so I will never know I was there!!!!!

I'm sure the locals appreciate having a paved road to get from the bottom to the top but it''s not going to be me making the trip, glad I don't live there.

No way! I drove over Mingus Mountain ONCE (Arizona Route 89-A, Cottonwood)...........only because I didn't know about the switchbacks. I would never...ever...do something like that again. I was terrified.

Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh! PTSD!

I lived in Prescott when I was ten. Just the mention of Mingus Mountain...

Don't get me started on California's Dumbarton Bridge... aarrrrgggghhhh!!!

@just beeWe just moved to the Valley from Prescott a few months ago..

Mingus Mt is a scare for sure, don't hit it if snow is coming down!

I could do it if I had to. But, I'd probably hand the wheel over to my husband, LOL. I think it looks that way from the air. But, other than the turns, it looks like it's a very gradual drop/rise. Just take it one level at a time.....
