Just drove south out of Carmel to get a great view on a sunny day; did lunch and returned to Carmel 3.5 hours later.

Nothing one bit scary unless car or truck on inside crossed over the line (like passing in no passing zone) took out car on cliff (water) side.

Scarier road: Independent Pass in Colorado!

______________________________________

I was in Colorado a year and 1/2 ago. I went 50 miles out of my way to drive that.

That and the Million Dollar Highway was THE best roads I’ve driven. Having said that - I DO want to drive the PCH.

Had my wife on Independence Pass a few years ago. She saw a box truck heading up the side of the mountain, and said “look at those fools...their idiots!” Then she saw my nav unit and the switchback coming up. She didn’t realize we were following them until then! It was yelling screaming the whole way! She wanted to get out and walk.

Ive driven it and did not think it scary. You have to pay attention and drive smart, but scary... no.

Now mountain roads in 3rd world and some 2nd world countries... those will pucker you so bad your ass takes a bite out of the seat.

Red Mountain pass in Colorado, in the winter, is the worst.
