Ouray County Road 31

The drive from Ouray to Silverton, CO is simply spectacular. Huge, near vertical rock mountains on both sides of the road combined with numerous waterfalls make it a delight for the senses...



Ouray County Road 31 is a dirt road that roughly parallels Red Mountain Pass south of town and passes by a number of old mines...




The rock here is laden with iron oxide which gives Red Mountain its name and makes for some strangely colored landscapes...
