Million Dollar Highway towards Ouray

[Tommys]

After the bear spray incident,
When it was certain that we were not going to leave, I took a chance with persistance and prayer and ventured North. I thought driving in city traffic was scary. Whew!

You should try it when it snows!

Do you think it would be open in January?

The million dollar hwy is open year round. But that being said, they do close it from time to time… they also require chains sometimes as well… in the summer if it rains really hard you‘ll get water falls that hit the road too, looks like it was rain a bit in your video.

Wow?! Chains. That is something to think about. Thanks!

When they put the chain law in effect, it sorta depends on the vehicle… 2 wheel drive or all wheel & you’ll be putting on chains. 4x4 with locking hubs & the usually let you go on. I have traction cables for both my vans which run 35s, but haven’t found any for my Jeep which runs 37s. I actually not a fan of chains, cause they tend to not fit well & can beat the crap out of your rig.
