The last time I went over this those guard rails were still in place. The first time I took my kids on this route my son looked out at the canyon and said, "My gosh, is this REAL?"

2013, I think those blocks are still there. One of the more incredible places in North America, if not on earth!

The colors in the photo do not do it justice. It is very green and very pretty. It is called the Switzerland of America.

This is one of the most beautiful spots on earth. From Ouray up to the top of the Million Dollar Highway is spectacular.

I've stood at this very spot, over 50 years after this shot was taken. It didn't look much different in '91, with perhaps a few more buildings here and there.
