Red Mountain

A section of US Route 550 that runs from Silverton to Ouray in Colorado is knows as "The Million Dollar Highway", and it's a thrilling (or terrifying) ride. Narrow roads, steep cliff walls, dizzying drop-offs....and no guard rails. It all makes for a white-knucke drive, albeit one with breath-taking views. There's some conjecture about the origin of the name - some say it's because it cost a million dollars to create, others say it's because of the million dollar views. Either way, it's a drive you won't soon forget. #colorado #ouray #milliondollarhighway #silverton #roadtrip #beautifuldrives

Always interesting driving on Red Mountain Pass. Just when you think it's the blizzards that are dangerous, remember to look up.
This is a wonderful mining district right along Highway 550 in Colorado. You can access it even closer via road 31.

Room was clean, but disappointed we called to ask what time the pool hours were and they told us 8 AM to 10 PM. We get there to check in and they tell us that the pool has been closed for a long time and that was the reason we chose that location?

Clean room grate staff. I did feel the description about the breakfasts was off on Expedia it said breakfasts included and then if you click on it it says "(with a fee)"... i was totally surprised when they walked over with a bill and honestly I've had better breakfasts elsewhere. So that was a big turn off for me.. probably will not be staying again.
