While reading about the town of Ouray, CO I came across mention of the “Million Dollar Highway” legend that is the famous scenic mountain road (Hwy 550) connecting Ouray to Silverton. Supposedly 25-mile stretch of road was built by early railroad magnate Otto Mears using available quantity of gravel: gold-bearing tailings from nearby mines.
