Colorado Experience: Million Dollar Highway

I absolutely love how Native Americans refer to spoken language as "recorded" history.

boo hoo hoo

Experiencing Colorado is like stepping into a postcard-perfect landscape, where rugged mountains, pristine lakes, and expansive forests beckon outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike

Stop with the millions of years old! You have no idea of the age. False science says this fake tale. Go to the Bible for the truth.

Those political cartoons back in the day really were genius

Around the 30 minute mark gets you past the Native American history part

Rest in peace, Jerry Roberts.

Beautiful road but the state has gone BLUE! I usta play on the million dollar highway now I don't live there because of the politics. Their not much different than the Californians. Blue is Blue and we don't need you!

Ridden on bicycle. Great rides.

Moral of the story, NEVER trust a Jew

May have been the gayest video I've ever watched

Don't drink the water. Mine tailings have many toxic wastes. Washes out into the river water, leaches down into other water sources. Yes, I am a 70 year old Coloradoan. Yes, Native Americans treated most unfairly and, well, "deported":from their lands due to white greed. I can say this strongly. My Dad is NA. Sent to "Indian School" for re-education. Anyway, enjoy your tourist visit to Colorful Colorado.

I remember at age 8, my dad drove close to the edge, then got angry at me for getting on the floorboard, so I wouldn’t see when we plunged to our death. I am now 70.

Chief Ouray and his wife Chipeta were my cousins great great grandparents. We are from Saguache Colorado

Heated freeway

When is the best time of year to drive this road?

If PBS want's to do a Ute documentary great.

I wanted to see the million dollar hwy.

I've ridden my motorcycle over it without giving the road much thought. I'll appreciate what I'm riding on more after watching this.

My 16 yr old son and I accidentally drove the entire length of the million dollar highway. We'd had to drive a road we thought was scary so to avoid it on the way home we let the GPS reroute and decided we'd rather drive an extra hour than the one road again. Annnnnnd we ended up driving this road instead. Much scarier. Made at least 6 cars of locals hate me. It was breathtakingly beautiful though!

Learned to drive on this highway with my dad, Lloyd McMillan. We stopped frequently at the site of the minister and his daughters. Prayerfully. Lots of memories brought back by this documentary.

I was at the top of red Mountain and saw a little pond with a beautiful white Lilly Flower and I ask my husband if it was possible for him to get the Flower He said the water was so cold that had ice in it , but that it was not deep he might be able to just walk out and pick one of the Flowers. So he stepped into and it went up to his chest and he say oh well and he swam out and got it. but he almost froze. Just to pick me that Flower. THAT IS WHEN YOU KNOW A MAN LOVES YOU.

My great grandfather was a photographer in Silverton and also owned a silver mine there in the 1880s/1890s. His photos were signed HM for his name Herado Maxwell Dearborn. In the 1930s he still had photos of Natve Americans, but those photos were not found when he died. I would love to find out more about his time in Silverton, Denver, and New Mexico if anyone has any information.

Ha,ha ... In Winter you can still put on your brakes at the Top and SLIDE almost all the way down in the Ice and snow cover. Max speed even in summer is 25mph. If all newcomers to Colorado were forced to drive this road maybe fewer would actually move here. Yeah ... and I grew up at Rico.

Not much about the highway, more about how we stole the land from the Utes

And “Indian giver” is a bad term …. Cuz.. it reminds us what we did to the natives that were here first …
Sickening

Well done. Loved this !

Wokey Mountain PBS

Colonialism/Landgrabs - One of the most disgusting behaviors of man.

By accident and dumb luck I found myself on this in the middle of a snow storm, in the middle of the night. Never again.

Such injustices, so sad! 😢😢😢😢

One of the greatest routes to take on a motorcycle. A friend and I rode it in 2015 and I still think it was one of the most scenic routes I had ever taken.

Typical PBS program. Gets off the subject quickly.

I was hoping for a history of the construction of the highway. This production goes off in the weeds about a few other subjects. Not what I was seeking. And, probably why there are 1,437 dislikes.

the early mornings there are unmatchable. the vista over looking molas lake will be where my ashes will be spread. if you make the trip BE CAREFUL not only for rocks but for wildlife and semi trucks. over the years ive heard many stories of people dying on that road. most being truckers who lose their brakes. learn how to use your gears when driving these mountains. dont go out there in winter.

I grew up in Florida and seeing the Rockies has always been on my bucket list. My wife and I drove there in 2017. We stayed just north of Purgatory Resort for a week and traveled to Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, and surrounding areas. I have never seen anything more majestic and beautiful in my life. It was a great experience.

I ran this road for 35 years in a truck. Parts of it are tricky. Got to watch it or it will bite ya!

....they ARE americans ffs

BREATHTAKING ACHIEVEMENT! LOTS OF LIVES LOST , STEALING FROM THE NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE ! NATURE SLOWLY TAKING BACK WHAT IS MOTHEREARTH !

This is a very pretty route but I have been over several mountain roads in Mexico that are more scary.

I remember doing that road in June 2006 on my "Mile High Colorado" tour.

That is the Sleeping Ute Mtn, a sleeping real giant Ute.

I can also remember visiting Silverton when it has a dirt main street with wooden sidewalks. i worked at a high school and my boss's brother was a federal judge in Silverton. I actually had the pleasure of meeting him. The meeting took place in his chamber, when I entered, it was like history a few hundred ago. The judge looked like a man who has just come out of the mountains. We had an interesting conversation and then my buddies and I left Silverton. We continued north to Oray and then rode over the Million Dollar High Way. This happened many years ago though..
