One of my favorite drives of the whole trip was the drive from Montrose, CO to Cortez, CO. We left early morning and made the three hour drive to Mesa Verde National Park. We took the scenic route that included the Million Dollar Highway. We drove through several quaint little towns like Ouray and Silverton and also through Durango. The scenery along the way was breathtaking and I'd drive it again in a heartbeat. Here are some of the views we got to see along the way.
leaving Montrose
Those snow covered mountain views in the distance never got old. They seemed to follow us the whole trip.
driving through Ouray, Colorado
It was a dreamy little town. I'd love to go back and spend more time there.
Ouray, Colorado
More tunnels to pass through. We loved them!
The Million Dollar Highway is a twenty-five mile scenic route on US 550 between Ouray to Silverton. It offers breathtaking mountain, valley and gorge views.

This was the next national park we visited. I'll share about it next.
