Red Mountain pass out of Ouray, Colorado.

Did that one last summer. I actually thought it was less scary than Highway 1, after hearing many people warn me about it beforehand. Wouldn't want to do it on an icy winter day, though. :)

I love that road. Been over it many times in sunshine, rain coming down so hard you can’t see but 5 feet of the hood and white out snow conditions. Even dodged a deer way up near the top. The views are just outrageous! It’s true, though. People are scared of it, when there really are only a couple parts that get somewhat sketchy with hairpin turns and 100+ foot dropoffs.
