I've driven that more than a few times. the video does nothing to give you any indication of how steep some of those grades are. also glad to hear the rock fall mitigation will be done soon, since i'll probably be driving this route in december.
for some reason, my kids always get the biggest kick out of that little "welcome to colorful colorado" sign. dunno why but my daughter always has the giggles for another 5 miles after seeing it.
another pretty road near there (i think you can get on it in trinidad) is CO 69. it goes alongside the great sand dunes national park, and also has some fields with buffalo in them (with big warning signs to leave the buffalo alone cuz they can kill you).
