• Durango - While driving through Durango, you’ll learn about this captivating town and the influential figure, Otto Mears, who transformed it from a modest railroad camp into the vibrant destination it is today.
• Animas River Trail - On your journey, you’ll encounter the Animas River, a 126-mile tributary of the San Juan River. Although its name is now gentle, the first European explorer gave it a much more ominous title.
• Pinkerton Hot Springs - Next, visit Pinkerton Hot Springs, named after dairy farmer James Pinkerton, who established a resort and hotel by the springs, which also served as an illicit speakeasy during prohibition! While the resort is no longer there, the natural beauty of the hot springs endures.
• Bakers Bridge - Baker’s Bridge may seem unremarkable, but it holds great significance for classic film enthusiasts. This is where Paul Newman and Robert Redford famously leaped into the Animas River in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid!
• Haviland Lake - Haviland Lake State Park is an excellent spot to pause your drive for a picnic or a refreshing swim. This picturesque lake, surrounded by towering pines, offers stunning views of the Hermosa Cliffs. It’s also a no-wake lake, free from larger motorboats.
• Molas Pass - Molas Pass reaches an impressive 10,910 feet above sea level, making it one of the highway’s two highest mountain passes. Despite its elevation, it’s a renowned landmark on an annual bicycle racing route! Skilled cyclists climb to the top and then enjoy the descent.
• Molas Lake - Serene, tranquil, and quite chilly, Molas Lake is an ideal spot to admire the San Juan Mountains and the Weminuche Wilderness. Formed by glaciers millennia ago, it’s now a perfect picnic location for travelers.
• Silverton - Silverton’s name may derive from the precious metal once mined nearby, but the area’s history predates the miners and their mules. As you pass through, you’ll glimpse the history of the Ute tribe who once inhabited this land and their fate during the mining boom.
• Ironton - On your route, you’ll see the remnants of Ironton. Once a thriving mining town focused on iron ore extraction, Ironton is now one of many ghost towns left after mining operations ceased. The last resident of Ironton passed away in 1960.
• Bear Creek Falls - Bear Creek Falls is a stunning 200-foot cascading waterfall that is a must-see on your journey. If you visit in the fall, the autumn foliage enhances this already remarkable sight.
• Ouray - As you near the end of your tour, you’ll arrive in the historic town of Ouray. Known as “the Switzerland of America,” this charming mountain town offers more than just scenic beauty. With ice parks and waterfalls, it’s a place full of exploration opportunities.
• Ouray Ice Park - From December to March, the Ouray Ice Park provides wintry adventures for daring explorers. The park’s main feature is a massive ice wall designed for climbing.
• Box Canyon Waterfall & Park - Ouray’s Box Canyon Falls Park is brimming with stunning scenery. Towering canyon walls, excellent hiking trails, and scenic picnic areas characterize much of the park. However, the main attraction is the enormous waterfall cascading over the canyon’s edge, viewable from both below and above!
• Ouray Historical District - Ouray’s Historical District has meticulously preserved its heritage as a 19th-century mining town. The district features numerous charming Victorian-era homes and commercial buildings, along with a beautiful opera house saved from demolition.
• Ouray Visitor’s Center - The final stop on your tour is the Ouray Visitor’s Center, an ideal place to prepare for an extended stay in this delightful town. Your tour concludes here.
