Day 13 – into Million Dollar Highway

Coffee on the veranda looking into the sunny wide … what a start of the day. Again Jake and its offer is awesome.

Down into the valley on the Rim Drive of the National Park and passing the Independence Monument!

Hwy 141 – just not to go the direct way to Silverton … BUT what an amazing ride.

I don’t know how many pictures to post … after any corner the canyon narrows and the view is even more spectacular than before.

And this is really dangerous to ride … you want to look left and right – up and down … but please stay on the road. Plus it was getting warmer and warmer. However – never wanna miss this!

Finally get back on Hwy 550 – the famous Million Dollar Highway – just north of Ouray. And the southern direction is not looking too good wheatherwise.

OK – I can claim – I just did it in cold rain!

Silverton – stay in the Grand Imperial Hotel … the place to be.

With its restaurant and bar.

And again, it’s also about meeting people. Today at  the bar a couple served in the forces and she is working with a (big) supplier of Airbus. Both are in the voluntary search and rescue in Utah just preparing for the final test. Crossing fingers!

BTW – just was lucky as the route will be closed for construction by day after tomorrow. The highway south of Silverton was closed last week.

Create your dreams – every day
