Ride Report

Colorado Part II. This was all about the famous Ouray - Silverton - Durango "million dollar highway". I think it got its name as it cost a million dollars per mile to build. You can see why.

This page traces the route from Grand Junction, in the map above, down to the quadripoint labelled Red Mesa. This is the only intersection in the US of 4 states (see if you can name them before scrolling down to the Four Corners Monument images below. I have included the few miles from Four Corners into Arizona as far as Kayenta, in this page.
