Thanks for the drive through Silverton. My grandmother was born there in 1898, her parents, my greats are buried in Silverton. On my bucket list to visit the area and drive the million dollar highway. Thanks for sharing.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Wow that’s awesome, yea it’s definitely a stunning and special place! All the best!

[@marktracy]

Great video! Ouray is one of our favorite places. Hope you guys got to try the hot springs. Hwy 550 is super sketchy, but so pretty. Glad you made the trip and got to see it. Thanks for sharing and travel safe.

[@ONWorldTravel]

We loved it Mark! We didn’t get the chance to go into their hot springs but it looked amazing! Cheers and all the best!

[@jamesmcknight6440]

Up to the 70s and 80s, the roads didn't have guard rails, that's the we drove on the roads

[@cichlid_kings]

Beautiful place. Nice work getting all the footage despite all the rain 😎

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks for that!

[@AdventuraHighway31]

So colorful Colorado, we love it! A lot of souvenirs there, thanks for sharing your video

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thank youu

[@shermanlulu5892]

Love your videos, just wish they were longer! The hubs and I live vicariously through your travels. Can’t wait to see where we go next.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Haha we’re doing the best we can, some longer some shorter 😅 thanks for supporting!

[@user-ux7wp4mv1u]

I am just now finding your videos. I LOVE your personalities. I love the light hearted and joyous attitudes that you both have. We will be traveling to Colorado now the first half of June 2024. Ever since I heard about Ouray, the Switzerland of America, I knew I must visit. We will be hitting the Rockies, Telluride, Mesa Verde, Ouray, travel that Million Dollar highway plus much more in the two weeks that we have. I am getting excited after finding your videos and getting just a glimpse of the beauty. :)

[@jeffwallsinger6411]

Once again, awesome! Keep on truckin’

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Jeff! Safe travels to you too!

[@JamesBond-zc5gm]

San Juan is a bit spicy in Wonderland. You 2 are the perfect travel companions. Cool , unique blend, highly entertaining.

[@thereadmans5693]

Awesome video!! I’m visiting the San Juan’s this summer and I can’t wait!

[@MrsAllen-tm7fe]

"Million dollar make you holla" lollll! I love yall! New subby!! 😂

[@moore_2_explore]

Awesome guys! …..and that’s why they call it “Colorful Colorado”. Soooo, I’m thinking Durango next, train ride maybe? BTW, You guys so seamlessly incorporate sponsored items into your content in a great way that informs and makes sense.😎

[@jreed5795]

I love these towns!! Charming is right! I will definitely visit 😊🎉 the views are amazing

[@ONWorldTravel]

Heck yea, Colorado’s awesome!! 😍 Thanks Joanie!

[@cdnbarbqmafia]

Awesome Vid! You guys crack us up!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Gotta have fun with it! 😂

[@shefdankennedy355]

If you guys are headed to Durango to ride the train hit up the Hot Springs it's amazing!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Great tip! 🤘🏽

[@denverz9626]

Wow You two are hilarious. So much personality. I love duo comedies. ❤️

[@MN49328]

He is so funny.

[@andron967]

Try driving semi trucks over this in the winter. Or better yet a snow plow. I worked out of Silverton normally to the too of Red Mountain. Ouray Normally does the north side. But we both had to do each others sides at times. Mix in avalanches and rock/mud slides.

[@clairegordon8475]

Always here for the asmr of your channel! Who are your favorite asmr artists? No one else I know is into asmr… or knows about it. Lol

[@BrendaHaltom-cs6ck]

Beautiful Scenic comic relelief😀drive!😀❤️🇺🇸🚙

[@paulab984]

Hi guys! We got about 5 miles up from Ouray on the Million Dollar Hwy and I JUST COULDN'T DO IT! Had to turn around. I know now that part is the scariest from what you showed. Dang! Wish we had gone on. What time of year were you there? I always want to know when you're visiting a place so if I love what I see, I can go there that time of year. Happy travels!

[@stanfischer6175]

I've been down this road several times, first was in the early 60's when my dad drove a Ford Fairlane down it. Ten years later I was a young adult and drove it in the winter, roads frozen and no chains! Then a couple of times I rode my ancient Harley down it a couple of times. Now I'm in my 70's and some of the medications I'm taking give me vertigo, my hiway 550 days are probably over.

[@JT-25]

Don’t beat yourself up. Same here. Terrifying

[@barryjackson1401]

Beautiful....Id be sketched to drive my class A up on that ridge though....

[@ONWorldTravel]

It’s a bit sketchy for sure Barry, we took it nice and slow 👍🏽

[@jerrychronister7232]

Ouray & Silverton in the fall... nothing screams Colorado louder. Another great vid. One last HAVE TOO before you leave Colorado. Cruise the Glenwood Canyon, and stay in any one of the "W" sites at Glenwood Springs West / Colorado River KOA Holiday - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, you'll see why... def worth the few xtra dollars.😎

[@ONWorldTravel]

The Colorado colors in the fall are on another level!! Love it! 🤘🏽

[@buzzuti]

Dude we’re those In n Out sock??? Dope Always thought the Colorado State bird was a Subaru 😂 Good times folks, solid! ❤

[@ONWorldTravel]

Haha heck yea, love them double doubles! 😂 Cheers and safe travels!

[@bertkelly7650]

Olivia and Nathan...Yay!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Bert!!

[@HanlonsRazr]

04:32 The scenery is amazing, but you get a double thumbs up (if that were possible) for inserting some Back In Black. 😂😎

[@jennyboggs4763]

What month were y’all there? Looking to travel there the first of October

[@lyndaemge3486]

Those blue hose people, gonna learn today! LOL

[@ONWorldTravel]

Haha 😂 the reviews online say it all!!

[@timothyweiss619]

I rode the million dollar highway on my Harley from Silverton to Ouray. This was on the outside lane of the hy and was very scary since your right at the edge. The way you went ( south ) is less scary as your on the inside lane. Awesome scenery that's for sure. Take Care

[@ONWorldTravel]

Doing it on a Harley sounds incredible but sketch at the same time! Can’t beat the views!

[@DC-ok6bk]

Too bad you didn’t have time to checkout the local ouray museum. Lots of amazing photos of the town during the peak mining days

[@TaylorParnell]

WOW SO BEAUTIFUL ❤❤❤❤

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Taylor!! .💪🏽

[@helphelp9400]

Go south for the winter

[@gracewright7938]

Mexican highways in the mountains are like this - no barriers, like they are going to save you.

[@samnihao6943]

When did you make this trip? Mid of October?

[@edwardlloyd9468]

the red water is the iron ore in the mountains turning into rust.

[@rayraysphone]

This road did have guard rails (blocks, actually), but then they realized it was impossible to plow the snow. So, they opted for the lesser of two evils (avalanches can literally destroy the road)

[@exmichigansnowskier2150]

You shown going southbound then northbound, then back and forth and that maybe confusing to people not familiar driving over Red Mountain Pass Highway. There's this semi-truck driver who goes by his KZbin channel name of Riding Shotgun. He has driven both directions on this highway. He has driven across Western United States in all seasons. One video of driving northbound on Coal Bank Pass then it becomes Molas Pass, it looks like a 2,000 FEET dropoff. However there's GUARDRAILS there unlike on Red Mountain Pass it's basically non existing. Take the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad from Durango to Silverton. It's about a 3 hour trip from what I heard before. One of a restored riding car had U.S. President Grant rode in. There was western movies filmed in Silverton and this railroad I believe.

[@ONWorldTravel]

Good to know, thanks for sharing!! Yes we did switch directions with our clips a few times, good catch 🤘🏽

[@matthewbisland2740]

Are you guys going to Chama or Durango to ride the train?

[@ONWorldTravel]

Yes we did!! Cheers Matthew! 🤘🏽

[@Sapientiumism]

Duuuuudes.... niiiiize!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Heck yea 🤘🏽

[@sarkae0405]

At $285 I'd be nervous about the hose being stolen.

[@helphelp9400]

You should sell that type of hose

[@lamardon9723]

It must be clarified that this was a million dollars per mile.

[@allisvibration]

6:57 tf lmao

[@NoCoSilver]

Did I just see In N Out socks? Lol

[@ONWorldTravel]

Heck yea! 🤘🏽

[@michaelslifecycle]

No offense, but if I’m going on a road like that, my girl will not be driving 😂

[@shronrohder2321]

[@kevinscott660]

Awesome Awesome

[@ONWorldTravel]

Thanks Kevin! 🤘🏽

[@Scrambler85]

You should have rented a jeep and drove Black bear pass. This is a really beautiful area. 👍

[@shefdankennedy355]

One of the best trails I have ever done!

[@ONWorldTravel]

Would have been fun! 🤘🏽
