As mentioned the Aspen side is where you need to watch out. The road in places was cut out of the rocks and they didn't always smooth out the rock face of the wall next to the road, lots of paint on some of those rocks sticking out almost into the roadway. Just go at a speed you can stop if need be and get to one of the one way places, which aren't always marked by signs. Went over I Pass a couple of years back, headed to Aspen, and had to dodge a large rock in the road, and we noticed there was an oil trail from that point on down the road. Sure enough in a mile or so was the vehicle stopped, half on and half off the road, where the engine had stopped from a lack of oil is my guess. Hopefully the driver spotted the loss of oil pressure and shut the engine down before permanent damage was done. No one was at the vehicle so someone had given them a ride into town. It is a beautiful drive.
