The Million Dollar Highway stretches from the quaint western town (named obviously for the wealth of minerals mined in this region)... Silverton.. and stretches along windy cliffs abounding throughout the Rocky Mountains to another gem of a western town named Ouray (pronounced oo-ray). We began our journey here from Durango which we can't recommend enough as a good base to see several amazing parts of southwestern Colorado. It's between Santa Fe and not terribly far from Utah and the beautiful Rocky Mountain extension into northern New Mexico. The Million Dollar Highway was a last minute addition to our trip but boy were we WOWED! Several stops along the way are pretty serious cliffside roads with views that are comparable to Switzerland! In fact outside of Ouray is considered the Switzerland of America. We could see why! The Rocky Mountains do not disappoint and we can't recommend it highly enough. Durango offers another unique way to explore the wilderness of the San Juan National Forest and that is aboard the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad line founded in 1882. This was something we would love to do yet another time we visit! Yes we are definitely looking forward to returning to this beautiful area. Here is the link as promised in the video..
