Happy New Year, everyone! We can’t wait to welcome you as a guest of The River’s Edge Motel Lodge & Resort in 2019 and show you all that Ouray has to offer. In the meantime, we’re sharing some interesting news regarding one of Colorado’s most notorious mountain passes.
If you’ve ever gone off-roading in Ouray and beyond, you’ve more than likely heard about Red Mountain Pass. It has gained a reputation for being among the most difficult mountain passes intended solely for those with plenty of years of experience. With its lack of guardrails and steep drop-offs, Red Mountain Pass is very dangerous. For those that can navigate it, however, they may likely agree that the vistas are more than worth the risk. In fact, over 2,000 vehicles navigate the treacherous mountain pass each day.
Million Dollar Highway is part of Red Mountain Pass and it recently received the honor of the “Most Visited Places Award” by the travel company ArrivaLIST! Million Dollar Highway beat out other notable places like the Denver Zoo.
If you have the bravery and the skills, come and pay Red Mountain Pass a visit!
