Red Mountain Tours and Activities

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.

The property has charm and character for days. The chef on site, Brandon, is kind and extremely thoughtful. Our party had dietary restrictions that were very well accommodated, with no impact to flavor or plating. Truly a gem. The bar is charming, and there are lots of shops and restaurants in the area within walking distance. Truly a must stay.
