These pictures capture the locale of my upcoming novels in “The Curse of Dead Horse Canyon” trilogy perfectly! Are they breathtaking or what?
One of the most scenic highways in the United States, if not one of the most dangerous, the Million Dollar Highway is a must drive if you’re in Colorado. As part of US Route 550, the 25 miles from Ouray to Silverton represents the most scary and jaw dropping stretch. It was originally built in 1882 to serve the local mining industry. Sheer drop offs to my right caused me to slow down and find a safe spot for picture taking.
Uncompahgre Gorge, just south of Ouray.
The town of Ouray
No guardrails here!
I’d hate to drive through here in winter.
Red Mountain
Fall colors can be amazing
Beautiful photos, Marcha! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Jan. They blew me away. It was almost creepy, they were so spot-on for my WIP.
