If you take 34 PLEASE use one of the many pull offs if you're uncomfortable doing the speed limit. We understand it can be intimidating and it's pretty to look at especially if it's your first time, but please don't hold us up at 15-20mph. Sincerely a local, who drives 34 twice a day and dreads tourist season only bc of the slow traffic that refuses to use the slow moving cars pull offs.

Not a front ranger, but live in the Leadville area, the fall has become a fucking hazard with people taking photos…. It’s quite irritating.

If you want pictures, pull off the road and take pictures. Sincerely, locals.

I can't tell you how many people stand in the middle of the road in the canyon to take pictures of the rams, or come to a dead stop right around a blind corner to take pictures. Infuriating.
