COLORADO: TRAIL RIDGE ROAD
LUNG-BUSTING ALTITUDES
This route rapidly ascends 4,000 feet in a matter of minutes.
For 50 miles, it perilously winds between glacier-sculpted peaks.
You'll reach the road's highest point-a lung-busting 12,183 feet above sea level.
The journey ends when the road rapidly bottoms out into a scenic valley.
