Worth Every Penny! Co. Route 550- Silverton to Ouray!





Now for part 2 of the Million Dollar Highway. I had 15 miles more to go. To arrive in the very scenic town of Ouray. Which lies at the end of the "Million Dollar Highway". There are conflicting reports how Colorado Route 550 came to be called "The Million Dollar Highway". Some reports were. The cost of building this scenic road was so high. Created the nick-name. Other reports are. That the beautiful scenic views. That are your constant traveling companion. Created the name "Million Dollar Highway". I can honestly say that driving the "Million Dollar Highway" is worth ever penny. It cost to built this magnificent stretch of road!

Enjoy the photos! For the final part of this scenic and unique road. I couldn't take any photos due to trying to keep safe! On the final mile of road. Not very many safe turnoffs to take photos.
