Colorado High Country Drive | Million Dollar Highway | The Stable

The Million Dollar Highway is the crown jewel of Colorado driving. a narrow, winding road carved into sheer cliff faces with no guardrails, crossing Red Mountain Pass at 11,018 feet. The 25-mile stretch between Silverton and Ouray is among the most dramatic roads in North America.

This route pack builds a 3-4 day adventure around the full San Juan Skyway. a 236-mile circuit through Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, and Cortez. The loop takes in mining-era ghost towns, hot springs, 13,000-foot peaks, and some of the finest mountain dining in Colorado.

The driving demands respect. The Million Dollar Highway section features tight switchbacks, narrow ledges, and no guardrails. this is not a road for the faint-hearted. But the reward is a landscape of almost incomprehensible beauty, where every turn reveals another valley, another waterfall, another peak reaching for the sky.
