In the state of Colorado of the United States of America there’s a special highway built in the late 1880’s: the Million Dollar Highway, part of the San Juan Skyway. It’s one of the nation’s most spectacular drives. You’ll be on the “outside” for a while with a hell of a view to your right (let the passenger look. You’ll want to watch the road). Forget standard driving safety measures like guardrails and shoulders. From Durano, through Silverton and Ouray, to Ridgway, the highway delivers jaw-dropping vista after vista. The route is approximately 25 miles.
