The road is not difficult, but it is narrow with very steep drop offs; not for the faint of heart. The grades are not bad; 3 10k+ passes. RV's and trucks on it all the time, so it is not a problem unless you are worried about heights. I used to drive it a couple times per month both winter and summer pulling SnoCats; pulled my Montana on it many times, but of course only in the summer. If heights do not bother you, go ahead; it is a beautiful drive.
Google the million dollar highway for some interesting history.
Always call the Colorado road report (303) 639-1111 and select the option for closures before going. There can be construction delays in the summer and of course it is sometimes closed in the winter.
Let me know if you need more info.
