The Road that Silver Built
also recounts the stories of the four narrow gauge railroads that ran along the route and features early San Juan toll roads, many of which are now exciting and scenic four-wheel drive roads. And tales of lost gold mines, treasure caves, ghost towns, and what was supposed to be "mountains of silver" promise to make your travel along U. S. Highway 550 from Durango to Ouray (The Million Dollar Highway) more enjoyable, educational, and a trip you will remember for the rest of your life.
