Our next stop is the small town of Ouray. The road from Silverton to Ouray was built in the 1930s and then the cost was $1m so it is named the "Million Dollar Highway" It winds it's way around mountain ledges and through canyons. It was also a mining town but the draw today is the hot springs. They have made a large swimming pool and hot tub for the town that is a wonderful 90F and 103F year round. We ate our lunch here in a park on the Uncomphagre River.
