Headed from Gunnison to Durango. Can I take my 25 foot MH over the Million Dollar Highway?
A suggestion. Check out Youtube and search "million dollar highway" for some perspective of what it's like. There's a variety of vids to watch, including a motorcycle perspective. Watch a good selection (probably don't need to watch any of the winter ones unless you WANT to ;-) )
There's a lot of opinions about whether one should or can. Being an informed driver is essential. The driver will NOT get a chance to sightsee unless you pull off for views. There are areas with no guardrails and steep and deep drop offs. Winding/twisty road all the way to Red Mountain Pass. Yes, buses and trucks do it all the time. And they are also professional drivers. It's not so much YOU as it is OTHER drivers who may be in over their heads in driving it and constantly cross over into the oncoming lane. Because of the size of your vehicle, it should not be as bad as some other RV type vehicles going up and over.
If you do take it, take your time, be safe and pull over for the views when you get a chance. Well worth it.
