Highway from Durango to Silverton, Colorado, June 2016
The portion of US 550 between Durango, CO and Ouray, CO is referred to as the Million Dollar Highway. Not sure where the name came from, but it is a beautiful drive. In our case, we ran into fog and rain as we proceeded North of Silverton, so the section from Silverton to Ouray is not covered here. From a previous trip a long time ago, I know that is a great section as well!
