We are fortunate enough to ride this highway 3 or 4 times a year.

Great ride! We spent a week in Durango this June and rode 1600 miles on the bikes in the mountains, desert and canyons.

Every hill brought a new landscape.

Nice ride. I have ridden it a couple of times in the last few years. If my wife had been with me, I think I would have had to leave her there. No guardrails, oh no! I don't know how they paved parts of the road as the asphalt went all the way to the edge, no dirt, no nothing past the asphalt.

You do realize that the "Million Dollar Highway" now stands for the fee you have to pay to ride that beautiful road. The state of Colorado is awaiting your check.

I grew up not far from you in Aztec. I now live in Eagle County Colorado but have family and business down there still.

Just rode it before the 4th Southbound in a driving rain. The edge got a little closer that day.

One of my favorite roads in a state loaded with options.

If you are that close, ride to the top of Mt. Evans, it's the highest paved road in America at 14,270 feet. It's on top of the world!!
