I drove the million dollar highway from Grand Junction (US-50 and US-550) to Durango (on a motorcycle). They advertise the wonderful aroma of the trees but in reality all you can smell is burning brake pads on the 18-wheelers who are trying not to go over the high side. Beautiful ride tho.
Prior to that I stopped for the night in Frisco City, Colorado (elevation around 9500 ft). Bartender asked me where I was from and when I said about 20 miles north of West Palm Beach, Florida he said "drink slow - this altitude will mess you up". Yup - 3 beers was my limit that night (sipping slowly too, lol).
