Hey Folks:
It looks as tho my grand trip out to the high Rockies and back here to North Carolina is a go. My trip from Durango, CO to Ouray will include The Million Dollar Highway....or so I thought. A few other folks have recently told me that that road is VERY popular and full of lumbering, noisy Harley Davidsons. I want to have an enjoyable trip full of what the mountains have to offer and not have it ruined by the ever present sound of "roaring" after market non-mufflers. I already get a lot of that right around here. My question is: Is there another route northward from southern Colorado that someone has tried that would offer a pleasant experience without all of the aggravations, or is the Million Dollar Highway as bad as I have been led to believe?
Bob
