Is this going to be a white knuckle drive going over Monarch Pass with a 45 foot 5th wheel? I've driven on 550 between silverton and ridgway (NOT with a 5th wheel but a truck camper and a cargo trailer behind) and I will NEVER do that drive again with a cargo trailer and truck camper) road is too sketchy for me with.
Is HWY 50 like this? Anyone done this with a 45 footer?
Not like RT 550 - just like most other passes in Colorado - not easy but you gotta get over those Mountains - The issue is the Construction that basically has the road closed all week and only open on the Weekend,
