If byways could claim royal lineage, the San Juan Skyway would rule them all. Mining towns and alpine splendor await you on this stunning journey across high mountain passes in the shadow of impressive 14,000-foot peaks. This All American Road runs through the same canyons and valleys once used by railcars a hundred years ago to transport miners and ore to and from remote mining camps. The segment from Ouray to Silverton is called the "Million Dollar Highway" but you really can't put a price on this experience.
