Riding south on US 550 we pass through the town of Ouray, one of many natural hot springs in Colorado. Between Ouray and Silverton we'll ascend to 11,000 feet in the Red Mountain Pass. Silver mines opened up this country, which may explain why this stretch of road is known as the "Million Dollar Highway." Riding closer to these mountains the shades of red change with the sunlight and the strata. Still more astonishing geology as every mile goes by.
