🤔 Have you ever wondered why there are no guardrails on the Million Dollar Highway?

🤯 Back in the day, there were rocks to act as guardrails, but this became troublesome for snowplow drivers to remove the 300 inches of snowfall over the winter season, so they were removed.

🚘 : SLOW DOWN AND ENJOY:
~ Give other drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and wildlife plenty of space
~ Pull over to take pictures in designated areas
~ Follow all speed limit signs
~ Watch for pedestrians and cyclists
