we have pulled the trigger.....have flights and car rental and train tickets.....i would rather do grand junction than colorado springs but mostly like will go back that way to catch another damn train...i want to go to mesa verde there is just too much to do...how is the million dollar highway?
The million dollar highway is between Ouray and Silverton. The gravel used to build it was taken from the tailings of the gold mines, which is why it's called that. And the ride is absolutely wonderful. Lots to see in the form of mountains, forest, wildlife and the occasional abandoned gold mill on the sides of the mountains. Good choice for a day ride.
