2Million Dollar Highway – Colorado
The Million Dollar Highway in Colorado offers a dramatic fall foliage experience unlike anywhere else. This 25-mile stretch of U.S. Route 550 runs between the towns of Ouray and Silverton and is known for its breathtaking views of the San Juan Mountains. In the fall, the aspen trees that cover the mountainsides turn a brilliant gold, creating a striking contrast with the rugged peaks and evergreen forests. The route winds through steep mountain passes, offering thrilling views of deep canyons and towering cliffs. The best time to experience the fall colors on the Million Dollar Highway is in late September to early October.
