      US-550 是跨越圣胡安山脉(San Juan Mountains)的一条颇负盛名的公路,号称 Million Dollar Highway。谷歌搜索这个称号,一大堆的结果都是这条路。

      十月金秋,过落基山一路还下着雪。下到半山,雪慢慢停了。走上 US-550 向南,基本上一路阳光灿烂。

      Ouray 是路上第一个名气响亮的小镇,小镇人口不过一千,街上停的车,大多是游客的,其中也包括我。小镇的街道也是斜的,Main Street 就是这条从镇中穿过的 US-550,横穿街道,感觉是在爬坡。

      出了 Ouray,山路高度上升就明显快了。对面夹在两山之间那座山峰是 Abrams。这个山谷里曾因雪崩,埋葬了一位进山宣教的牧师和他的两个女儿。

      科罗拉多山里,以前采矿而起来的城镇很多,地名里各种金属都有,有 Gold Hill, Silver Plume, Copper Mountain, Leadville, ……这个地方是 Ironton 的遗址,靠近这条满是铁锈色的溪水,不远处还有几间当年留下的木屋。

      对面色彩斑斓的山叫 Red Mountain……红山……我以为叫铁山,我脚下是当年采矿留下的矿渣,右边的木架子也是当年铁矿的一部分。现在科罗拉多州计划回收这些废弃的矿,开发成为旅游资产。

      山下是 Silverton,应该是这个山区里海拔最高的一个镇子。

      还没到 Durango,天色已经黯淡。在路边加完油,自己做了点饭吃。

      这一次,本来是很想开车上山。终究没有经验,一个人还是就乖乖地沿着高速公路从北向南穿过。下次计划一下,至少走一趟 Engineer Pass 应该是可以做到。
