Guaranteed Million Dollar views all up and down the ‘Million Dollar Highway’
Million Dollar Highway
Drive with care as this is a mountain road with hairpin curves and dangerous dropoffs. Driving south you’ll be on the “outside” with no guardrails. So, use caution and enjoy the magnificent scenery. The origin of the name Million Dollar Highway is disputed. There are several legends, though, including that it cost a million dollars a mile to build it, and that its fill dirt contains a million dollars in gold ore. First time you drive it, it’s a real breath taker. Lots of sweaty palms. There are sheer drops virtually along the entire route and enough hairpins to make a whirling dervish dizzy.
