Review:
Colorado is home to 26 scenic byways, and the San Juan Skyway is one of the 11 of those 26 that have been deemed “America’s Byways”. This fully drivable road stretches and weaves for 233 miles through some of the most beautiful land in Colorado. It will take drivers through towns like Telluride, Silverton, and Durango, with incredible views of the San Juan Mountains at every turn. Keen-eyed drivers will find abandoned ghost towns that were once thriving mining villages, amazing wildlife like moose and elk, and even a stretch of canyon that was deemed the “million dollar highway” because of the sheer volume of gold in the surrounding rock face.
