WOW!!! Me and my parents really enjoyed watching every second of this drive! Russ...You should win an award for this one! AMAZING area. AMAZING video to say the least!đđđđïž
America The Beautifull !
Drove this in â78. Still remember that view of Silverton from above.
September 15 following is when the aspen groves turn golden. Awesome place. Road out of Cortez over Lizard Pass to Tellurid and down across to Ouray is some ride too. You would love. Ought to see Black Canyon near Montrose toward the east at Gunnison is something to see, also. đ
That rear facing camera was a great addition to the channel đ
Glad you think so!
Highway 550 is my all time fav. I go to silverton from Texas once a year. I Love driving the alpine loop backroads. Awesome!
Good job on this one!â°
You should always have your gold pan with you my friend. I think mine is in my rv. Never know when your gonna strike it rich! â€
The San Juan mountain range is spiritual
You wonât be disappointed Russ
Thank you so much for the gorgeous views. If you continue on 50 highway east through Kansas you will pass right by my house in Hutchinson Kansas when you cross 61 highway N and 50 highway E.
One of your best yet Russ
I'd luv some 55 degree weather right now!
Such beautiful aera thanks Russ
Excellent quality video. Thanks for that!!!
Awesome thank you Russ this is been so neat
Great video Russ! Ouray is one of my favorites. And the San Juanâs, oh my!!!
I travel this road every summer love it.
Thank you for newest video on Silverton drive.... I know it must have been a hard but gorgeous drive.....so do appreciate what you do for viewers.... I'm 75 and 90 % homebound....your videos make my days..... Thank you so very much.... May God keep you safe on the roads ahead....Denise
Glad you enjoyed it
Russ really enjoyed watching you enjoy this drive. If you ever get a chance go to Black canyon. Its the grand canyon of colorado
So enjoyable....thanks
We drove from Durango to Ouray, right before winter, a few years ago. There were a few rock slides. We were towing our Airstream. It was white knuckle. When we got down to the gas station in Ouray, my husband got out, patted the ground & said ânever againâ. đ
Thank you for all that you do for your viewers.... You must love what you do!
Russ you really got some Kodac moment shots! †beautiful drive
thank you russ for all the work you do i can not travel no more so you fill a void in my life
Wow! Beautiful, but terrifying! With my fear of heights and the drop offs right at the roadway, my heart was in my throat. No way would I want to take that highway!
Thanks, RVerTV Russ YEAH , Million Dollar Highway
Buckled Up ,Let's Roll Russ.đ
Thank you thank you thank you!
Boy, you earned a nice dinner this time !!
The church and drive into Silverton is my favorite. Thanks for sharing
Russ, love the rear camera...
đ€đ€ Loved spending time with you again.. Thank you.. Another beautiful trip.... Be safe... đđâ€ïž
Awesome video Russ my son and I did this trip a few years ago on Harleyâs. This was a great revisit
Oh I love the back camera!! Thanks for sharing!!
Itâs a great drive, I have been on 550 a couple of times going to Montrose on a hunting trip.
Looking at the charging situation along your route I will have no issues making the same trip. l can't wait!! Thanks for the great videos.
Rver TV the music you played comes on at the perfect time
The mountains are so beautiful. Love your traveling adventures.
Glad you like them!
THANKS!
You're welcome!
Love the rear camera view, the driving view is great, what a road trip

Ps Beautiful Views â°ïž the
Waterfall đđŠđ so
Relaxing đđœ
Beautiful clouds.
@27:39 did you notice the Elk on top of the red trimmed building? Cool!
Great trip!!!
I did this drive back in the fall of 2020. Very nice drive. Glad you got to experience it.
Love the video. Ouray is true grit and ridgeway was also. Loved Silverton. Sone of those mountains you can see ski slopes. You are the best.
Spectacular !!!
Man oh man! That stuff @ about 1:03 had me pouring with sweat just watching from home. You and all the other drivers who can make that stretch are legends in my book. Wow!
Thanks for the ride.
A little bit of a white knuckle drive, but well worth it. Love the views from the rear view camera. Thanks Russ!
I Take the Million Dollar Highway once a Year... actually just did it today!! 7/30/2023
Great drive, great descriptions. Just a word from a local, though - Ouray is pronounced youRay, and Telluride is Tell You Tide.
Have you been through Central Oregon and on the way to John Day it is very similar but this is bigger mountains and a lot more of it.. Awe inspiring from a Generous Creator.
Not yet!
You outdid yourself with this one, spectacular! A lot of people are afraid to drive the 550, but it's one of our favorites. Nothing more beautiful!
Thanks! đ
Best travel videos on CZcams!! So clear and fun!
Ouray is one of my favorite Colorado towns.
It TRULY IS ONE IN A MILLION....GLAD U VENTURED IT, RUSS!âșïž
Great đ mountain view with big trees đ
Did this very same trip a couple years ago. I missed the guard rails so my daughter enjoyed the scenery as I was watching the road. We pulled off at the same spot.
Very cool!
Pretty area of Colorado as you were driving you showed some views looking towards the passenger side would have loved to see more of the left and right side looking at the mountains thanks for taking us on the tour
Great ride, just glad you were driving, otherwise I'd have never seen such a wonderful place, love to fly, but can't handle high places :0)
Great trip keep it coming beautiful places.
Iâve been up that road a few times and it never gets old. Love it!
Very nice. đ
Outstanding!
Thank you.
Was through their several years ago, truly one of GODS creation. B safe n thanks!
I ride a motorcycle and took it up there a couple years ago and it is the most beautiful road I've ever been on
Thank you so much,enjoyed the video, beautiful placeđ
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi russ thanks for the tour amazing part of the country loved all of it . Cheers mateđŠđș
Thanks đ
My wife and I made that trip last summer. Couldnât of imagined having to pull the trailer as well because that Hwy is sketchy with drop offs and lack of guardrails.
Thank you so much Russ for your excellent videoes! Not only front, but now back views, as well as, drone! The added bonus is feeling like we are physically riding shotgun with you on all these adventures! Congrats on creating the best videoes on CZcams in my opinion. Keep on rollingâŠ. đ
Good road to crank up that song GTO from the 1960âs. đ
So well done, love it! Seven years ago I visited Silverton, Telluride, and Ouray. It was the first time seeing mountains in real life (50 years old). The Storyteller Indian store specializes in Navajo and Zuni sterling silver jewelry. Absolutely beautiful store and owners! Lots of wonderful stores. Surprised you did not go through the original jail museum site in Silverton. In Ouray (you - ray), there is a wonderful little hole in the wall cafe, Maggie's Kitchen, that makes awesome burgers and salads. So many wonderful jeep trails going up through the mountains. Engineer pass was breathtaking. If you have time, stop and see Animas Fork a preserved mining ghost town. Definitely one of the most beautiful places in the U.S.! Thank you for a wonderful video, it was good seeing it again!
AWESOME RIDE, MADE MY DAY GREAT. BE SAFEđ
Thanks, you too!
I remember driving US550 from Durango to Silverton in a 1980 Mazda B2000 pickup. 5 speed manual and I was barely able to grind up those passes in 2nd gear doing about 20 mph. Thank you very much for bringing up some fond memories.
God Bless , United States America, Russ , RVerTV Fans. We Love RVerTV - Grand Journey Thru - U.S.A. - Grand Videos - Grand Music. Russ - TOO COOL 4 SCHOOL. Happy Trails - U.S.A. - Russ - RVerTV Fans. Have A Great Summer/ Have A Great Day Eh. Thank you Russ.đ€ đ€ đ€ đ€ đ€ đ€ đ€ đ€
This is an amazing, beautiful video. I am one of those people with a debilitating fear of heights. I could never drive that road without suffering a panic attack, and having to call a tow truck to get me back. Thanks to your video, I finally get to experience the ride. Thank you so much for posting this.
Love your rear camera view Beautiful colors blues, greens, etc.
Iâm right there with ya. Iâm pouring with sweat in my living room now watching those straight drops. Iâd have passed out riding shotgun with him. Iâve been where heâs headed next to Gunnison. Itâs very nice, but thankfully I was never on a road like this one. Definitely something your brain has to get used to. Oh boy!
Spectacular! Isn't it refreshing to need a jacket?!
What a beautiful ride! Thank you for sharing this drive with us!! â€â€â€
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you. Russ. Awesome video. Gorgeous scenery. Never. Been up here!!ÂĄ. Safe travels đ„Ÿđ„Ÿ
Thanks đ
Wow Russ, one of the best drives you have taken us on. đŠđșđŠđșđđ
We dreamed of their lives. They dreamed of ours. - Larry McMurtry
What a beautiful episode Russ Tnx for that, greeting from the Netherlands.
Beautiful!!!
I really like the rear camera views. I bet it smelled like a Christmas tree farm up there. The section after silverton was incredible even on camera. Around every other corner, another kodak moment. They all looked like one of those old ads for beer, lol. You've added yet another bucket list destination for many folks I'm sure. Cheers again and thanks! đ
That was a great ride, thanks đ
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for sharing,Russ ! Awesome country we have. Great job on video đđđâ„ïž
This really is a million dollar road with spectacular views. Your footage is really great esp the drone footage, and the back camera it was a nice edition. Thank you for sharing the journey. Safe travels.
Beautiful country. Thanks for the tour , Russ!!
Thank you Russ. 550 is one of the few roads I have not been on in Colorado. I appreciate all you do. God Bless!!
I love, love, love this video !!! Such beautiful scenery !!! Thank you for sharing.
Stunning... absolutely stunning! Thanks Russ!
Many thanks!
Beautiful scenery,nice clean fresh airđ
Did that drive last October. My most watched video!! Itâs was quite a bit colder, and more snow on the mountains. The road wasnât too bad.
Hey Russ, hope you're doing well on your way to Sturgis. I've driven the Million Dollar Highway several times, thanks for bringing back the memories. Ouray Brewery makes a fine IPA and the short hike at Box Canyon Falls is really cool. Safe travels and happy trails!
Russ, drop by Telluride, since youâre the area. Youâll love it!
HOLY COW Russ!
The most beautiful scenery I have ever seen on your channel! And that's saying a lot!
Just spectacular! Thank You so much for letting us ride shotgun with you!
Safe travels Man!
A Beautiful Trip .. Loved it.â€
Best RVr TV production I have ever seen. This little jaunt up over the Million Dollar Hwy. was full of amazing views. That rearview camera paid for itself with just this one video Russ!! Thank you!! Yeah, I'll bet you were a bit tuckered out after driving that road!
What a beautiful ride Russ. Breathtaking Mtn scenery, just fantastic. Thanks for sharing another cool drive.
