Photograph of the Famous Million Dollar Highway (U.S. 550) in western Colorado. This, one of Colorado's most spectacular highways, traverses the San Juan mountains connecting Durango, Silverton, Ouray and points north.
This small mountain lake with the Needle Mountains in the background can be viewed just East of the Million Dollar Highway between Durango and Silverton, Colorado, a few miles before the highway descends into Silverton.
