The wife and I have gone through the park on that road three or four times. A great drive, but I'm always thinking about falling rocks. Falling rocks are an ever present danger in many of the western state parks.

Or just driving down the interstate through the mountains. One time about six or seven years ago we were caught in a traffic jam ten thousand feet up on I-70 fifty miles west of Denver. We found out the next day a large boulder had fallen on some guy's car and killed him. That's the risk you take when driving in the mountains.

It does happen. Beautiful scenery in my Colorado and Utah. Risky as I guess anything is in life or can be, but worth the small risk to see.
