RE: Trail Ridge Road: Rocky Mountain National Park Part 1
That looks like quite a drive. There's nothing anywhere near as high in the UK, but a friend did a motorbike tour in the Himalayas where the air got a bit thin.
Those houses built on the mountainside look precarious. Have to hope they were well built.

Those houses are probably worth more than I will make in my entire lifetime! Just for fun the other day I was looking up how high Everest is and I was floored to find that it's about twice as high as we were here at 28,000 feet. We actually saw a guy riding a bicycle on Trail Ridge road near the 13,000 foot mark.
I think he went over this pass at 19,000'. I expect the motorbikes are tuned for the altitude. Did you car cope okay? I have seen on the Pike's Peak mountain race the electric cars do well partly because they don't care how thin the air is.
Cycling at that altitude is next level.
