The eleven mile stretch of Old Fall River Road is a must for anyone visiting the Rocky Mountains. There are very few people on the road and the scenic drive will take your breath away. It started raining and the clouds were draped over the mountain range like a cloak. The twist and turns of the road made me nervous and there was only one way to go and that was upward until you reached the top to the Alpine Visitor Center. Once you start the trip on the dirt road, it is one way and no turning around! The posted speed limit is 15 miles per hour, a journey up Old Fall River Road is not for the impatient. There are no guard rails along this road. I plan to go back and hike some of the trips to the different falls.
