why is it called "The Million Dollar Highway"

[JeepsterGal]

Also some call it that because the views are worth a million bucks!

Beautiful footage. I miss my Colorado, my Land Cruiser and the San Juans. Thanks for the video.

WORLD'S MOST BEAUTIFUL motorcycle rides includes US 550, especially southbound from Ouray, CO. Why southbound? There're NO GUARDRAILS on your right southbound [they get in the way of snowplowing], where the 1000+ foot dropoffs are. Nicknamed the MILLION DOLLAR HIGHWAY [or SAN JUAN SKYWAY] 'cause people've realized there's probably a Million Dollars' worth of gold and silver ore in the road's foundation. Kansasans should NOT ride or drive this road...and please let me and my Ducati get past you.

Should put some music over this video. I drove this route from Grand Junction to Durango where my aunt lives. It's actually pretty scary when you're from out of state like I am (I live in Oregon) because of the high cliffs. But it is a GORGEOUS drive despite the very dangerous conditions at times.

This would make a great Need for Speed track.
