    This youtube video might help.

    Wiki might say it well.

    For me - Just another Beautiful drive in Colorado - First time I drove it a Golden Eagle flew down the road - Right over the Coach - it was amazingly Beautiful and Big - so much so it was all I remembered for years. Later we've done the Pass a few times with no problem.

    Between RT 160 and RT 50 we have enjoyed both but tend to do 50 more often, as it has so many of our favorite drives along the way.

    Back to the Question - Usually if you have gotten to Durango you have "Some Mountain Driving Skills" so it is really not too Bad. Just stay in your comfort zone and enjoy Colorado. :)

    Best of Luck,
  • Wolf Creek Pass is a long down hill run going east or west.
    Don't know if you are used to mtn driving.
    I put my pickup in second gear and it controlled my speed without using the brakes (maybe very very slight braking).
    That's the only part I can help with.
