Holy crap, thats one shear cliff with no guard rails!! And no shoulder to speak of either! Most of the mountain passes that I drove over in Colorado did not have guard rails.
Another spectacular drive is Trail Ridge Rd through Rocky Mountain National Park, no guardrails either!

We tell folks that if they go over the edge they best have a sack lunch. Y'all will git hungry before the bottom!
Independence Pass (highway 82) into Aspen is way narrower and scarier than Loveland Pass.
Lincon did an MKZ infomercial on Loveland pass (closed) with timed speed runs from the ski area parking lot to the summit. Hit 110 MPH in spots. Beat the quadra-slam Masarati, the Jaguar and the Mercedes, just barely got beat by the BMW.

Independence Pass is also a Colorado favorite. Its a one lane road with NO guardrails and is closed until late spring. That said, most mountain roads here have very gentle inclines and are easy to navigate.
