Description
Yankee Girl Mine and the Idarado Mine are two famous gold mines at the summit of Red Mountain Pass (11,000 ft). Yankee Girl Mine can be seen well from a high lookout point opposite the pass. Below is the famous Million Dollar Highway (renamed Highway 550) that connects Silverton to Ouray, Colorado. The Million Dollar Highway is 25 miles of steep no-shoulder road with high cliffs, very tight turns and spectacular views of this part of the Rockies. Just plain heart-racing entertainment even when taken slow -- no place to stand when taking pictures either.
