Here is one of the incredible views from Trail Ridge Road. This winding road follows the crests of the mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park. It takes about two hours to drive the entire road and is worth it.
There is a visitor center up in the tundra portion just under 13,000 ft. elevation. The road at some places is on the edge of nearly vertical faces of the mountain. At one point you cross from one side of a mountain to the other side of the next mountain where it is several thousand feet down on either side of the road.
Thankfully that portion only lasted a few hundred feet. This drive is definitely a white knuckle experience. I urge you to check out the birds eye view in Google Maps. Just do a search for Rocky Mountain National Park and zoom in on the road.
