In 2021, we drove the Million Dollar Highway, a scenic route known for its stunning views and dramatic drop-offs. You can visit my post about this popular scenic highway here. […]

Yes, I’ve driven almost the entire Skyway a few years back… the only part we missed was from Molas Pass to Durango. I definitely want to return to the area, it’s such a beautiful part of the state.

It is a drive that is not to be missed if you are even near the area, and that highway goes on to the north where it displays more spectacular scenery.

Well, there’s that! >grin<
It does put the driver at a disadvantage. I had the best of both worlds on this trip. Traveling with a friend who knows the area and offered to drive; and I got to sit behind the driver in the back seat for those "out-of-the-window" views.

Indeed. That road can be scary to those who are especially nervous about heights. Inconsiderate drivers don’t help. Drivers who hug the centerline (or even drive on it) to avoid the dropoff or cliff edge make one glad to drive a compact car. 🙂

It’s not a case of nerves, he just doesn’t like not being able to enjoy the views while I’m sitting next to him going ‘Wow!’ all the time 😆

Another beautiful stretch of road and good to hear that the speed limit is conducive to people taking in its splendour – nothing worse than being tailgated by speed freaks when you’re trying to admire the scenery along the way.
