Relax. Your biggest obstacle would most likely be snow, and that depends when you go. The road itself is fine. Remember, this is the major route thru a National Park. They will close the road if there is a rock slide, etc. I was thru there in July a couple years ago. There was no snow on the road, but way up top on some of the peaks, there was snow. Some younger guys were carrying skiis up them, so they could ski down. Looked like a lot of work. There is a Nature/Visitor center up top, and nice a hiking trail, that leads to a really cool lake. It's one of the highest lakes anywhere, by elevation. But, the road is good, and the scenery is spectacular! Go and enjoy it!
