Whether it’s
the low-grade ore in the road bed or the awe inspiring
views around each white-knuckled bend, the stretch of
the Million Dollar Highway between Durango and Ouray is
a site to behold for locals and visitors alike. Between
the mountain hamlets, the two-laned U.S. Highway 550 travels
over three mountain passes, offering a multitude of activities
for any rock hound, cyclist, hiker or day tripper as well
as the avid sightseer. Just a few miles north of Durango,
the walls close in and the Million Dollar Highway greets
each new traveler with sheer cliffs and stunning wildflower
displays. Just remember to keep your eyes on the road.
