The Million Dollar Highway

Charlie has wanted to visit Ouray since he discovered it was the village Ayn Rand described in "Atlas Shrugged", and since we were in the neighborhood.    And also because the Million Dollar Highway is legendary to all RVers.   So we hit two bucket list items with one trip.   We left the RV at the park and drove the Million Dollar Highway in the Jeep.  Saw some RVs on it, and we congratulated ourselves that  we were smarter than they.  The MDH is about 30 miles in length - a section of Rte 550 between Silverton and Ouray.  Took us well over an hour to traverse the hundreds of S curves.  Lots of snow still up there.   Ouray is a neat little village, we would have liked to explore, but settled for lunch at the brewery when the rains began.  Ducked into a rock shop on our way back to the car.

Ouray (and Hooray, we made it)
