Dantankerous Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Been there several times. Been over it in all 4 seasons. I always marvel at what it is, where it is, and how it came to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 I make Shanley take Lizzard Head Pass instead of Red Mountain. Childhood crush went off Red Mountain going home from Christmas on his bike. He was only 20, I believe. It is beautifull...too many looky-loos behind the wheel.

Arkansas Jim 107095 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 That’s 145 if I remember right. A very scenic drive. We drive 550, M$ Highway, most of the time because we like Silverton and Ouray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blarney Kid Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Been there. Used to live in Silverton when I was 9. Used to watch the Silverton come in, the watch the gunfight in Old Town and harass the bad guys until they got shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I live about 1 mile from Highway 145 near Dolores. Really beautiful drive to Silverton. When we have guests, we like to spend a day driving the loop to Silverton, Durango and home. Like to spend all day with lunch in Silverton.
