I remember when the pass was only two narrow lanes, and doing it in the winter heavy snow falling

My husband and I went through here last summer and one of the road signs really does look like Malaria germs. I played this song for my husband and he loved it. Thank you for posting this. ❤

Never heard this Masterpiece until a couple weeks ago when a lovely & well traveled lady named Valerie mentioned it to me at a wedding in Sedona. I put 2,000 miles on my rental car over those 5 incredible days while driving through the entire state of Arizona. Although the highways were shit, it was still the most beautifully unique and awe inspiring part of this Country I’ve ever seen. The fact is that there’s no other place on earth like Northern Arizona and Southern Utah.

My parents took us up the Rabbit Ears and Wolf Creek passes pass, my Daddy had driven on it many times when he was a trucker. Higjlight og outr trip was singing this song as loud as we could gping up and coming down, and we saw the side of that feed store, or maybe it was a grocery store. How hard my sister and I laughed. Daddy drove to a campsite in Pagosa Springs beside a River. Got our Pop up camper trailer and camp stove set up, and left him at the camp, and went to town to buy food for supper. Delicious grilled steak and fresh locally grown vegetables and a fresh cantaloupe for dinner. Woke up at 2am, stepped out to go to the bathroom, and stepped into 6" of water. Rain upstream was flooding the campground, but it only got about 6 " deep, and next morning that water was gone. Loved Pagosa Springs !

So, this type of cornering is called: Apexing. Using the Apex of the corner in order to travel faster through it. Great explanation in the information section for this video. Honestly, it takes a lot of practice to perform correctly, and it’s not really worth using in anything other than a sports car, or type of sports car. A sports car has the ability to recover from an error easier. You must also make concessions for any gravel used during winter because if you get caught up in it, you can very easily, and quickly roll your vehicle. Use it as a tool only, and leave expert driving to the experts. Speed Safely!!

Just returned from a 4000 mile motorcycle trip and wolf creek pass was probably the highlight of the trip. Grew up in the 70’s listening to the song and wanting to travel it. Only took 45 + years to live the dream. Great song!

C.W. sure could tell a whopper when he wanted. (In a good way). 22000 telephone poles per hour would be between 520 and 1250 Miles per hour (assuming the distance cited at reference.com is to be trusted (125-300 feet apart)). Heck, even if the telephone poles were 20 feet apart, they would still be going 84mph.

I had the pleasure of taking on this MOTHER HUMPER in the late 90's in a truck with NO JAKES hauling top iced sweet corn going to the Midwest. To say I was glad I had water dripping on my drums to cool them off going down is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Being 80K pounds on this pass is NO FUN.
