Million Dollar Highway

Ouray, CO————————————> Durango, CO

It was very hard to leave Ouray, Colorado.  Well actually, we stayed 2 extra days than planned because it was so amazing and breath taking. But it was time to go.  Where to next?  Durango, Colorado!

In order to get out of Ouray, Colorado you have to take the “Million Dollar Highway”.  This is one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.

Why do they call it the “Millon Dollar Highway”? Here is a video I found online.

Why don’t I have my own video, well that is because I was driving! Best drive of my life in my Jeep Wranger! Ofcourse, everyone has different experiences, this was dangerous.  No guard rails, 20 miles an hour or under. Going up and down the mountains ranging from 8,000 – 14,000 ft above sea level in the mountains. Curving back and forth.  Back and forth. Back and forth.  To the left. To the right. Are we going to fall? Fuck.  This is awesome. No better way to go down.

As the nerves and anxiety hit your body, you start to react. But me, I was not reacting.  I was absorbing. This was beautiful.
