Have ridden this road a number of times. Silverton is a cool little town along the way. Its actually two rides in one when you ride it from both directions.
Absolutely beautiful. The wife and I did this ride a number of years ago. We did the whole western side of Colorado, it is full of wonderful roads to ride.
I feel like one of the luckiest bikers. I live 30 minutes north of Ouray(you're-A) and get to ride the million dollar highway on a "morning ride". its hard not to become callused to the raw beauty when its not a hard place to reach, but I have found the little things that make the history and beauty even better.
I’ve watched the whole documentary 2x now, and can’t wait until I have the ability to ride out there with my wife. Outstanding job on the documentary, Ryan! I love all the content and will become a patron very soon.
On the bucket list. I got the whole documentary when you released it. Great video. Think you went through part of the Navajo Reservation when you mentioned all those houses in the middle of no where. It's huge and that's all you see going through it.
Ryan, loved your video on the Million Dollar highway. Me and some friends will be back there again this summer. Just thought I would mention, that the proper pronunciation of Ouray is “OOOray,” rhymes with Hooray. 😊. Keep at it brother. Love your stuff.
Colorado is my home, yes a native. I forget sometimes the beauty this place presents to all of us. Your narrative magnifies this. A emotional tribute for sure. Ouray's proper pronunciation is You-ray, but Our-ray makes it everyone's. Ride On!
Back in 77 I bought a Kawasaki Z1. Lived in CO so I rode it all over the state, and later to the Bay Area and back. Durango is worth a ride on the Durango and Silverton RR. You saw a lot of it though. When you ride South out of Ouray (pronounced Yer-ray after the Ute chief),the highway winding up out of town is amazing!
Great video, I am planning to ride this route next summer with my son from Casper, wy to Vanderwagon, Nm to visit my sister. Your videos are very inspiring and well done.
You need to come to Silver City, NM. A lot different than Northwest NM. Spend a couple days riding our Mountains and then Grab the Devils Highway between 3 way, AZ and Alpine, AZ

I have had the opportunity to be on that road myself several times. Colorado has some very fun rides! One of my all time favorites is over the top of the hill from Estes Park to Grand Lake. I believe it is the highest paved road in North America.
Another great video LAB! Always enjoy your films. If you ever get to Arizona you must ride the Devil's Highway from Alpine to Morenci. 90 miles, over 1,000 twisties.
If you have time, stop in Silverton, Its old mining town with a steamtrain that comes up right in the middle of town from Durango, turns aroun d and heads back. MDH (550) is a Great m/c road.
I hope you stopped and took advantage of the hot spring pools while in Ouray. I know for me it was nice to unwind and take a break after a long day of riding. I live in NH and incorporated The Million Dollar Highway into my 14 day 6800 mile trip.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Ride safe & Ride Often! Check out this TH-cam Channel as we have a ton of free videos for you!

I'm suprised you didn't stop at the worlds highest (in altitude) Harley shop in Silverton. I parked in front on my honda and they harrassed the hell out of me! All in good fun!
Great Vid of a beautiful area - though you mispronounced Ouray. A lot visitors mispronounce it as well. I live in the Durango area and feel you did the area justice especially with the aerial views. Silverton just opened up this week, so it's time to get the HD warmed up and get out there. Keep up the good work! Yes, not much to see between Gallup and Durango, but still a great ride.
Any chance I could get you to say something about your GoPro setup: fisheye/wide angle, fps, resolution, and battery setup ? Outstanding documentary. I've done the Durango, Ouray, Silverton ride before back in the 80's. Got lost in a snowstorm (back when I was riding my R90 BMW) and ended up in this little podunk town named Telluride. But, that's another story...
What a great ride! Took your advice and went! Rode from Ouray to Silverton (actually Grand Junction to Durango) and tried my hand at a movie too (not as good as yours but I try ... it’s on my channel) Tons of fun!!
Riding the Durango - Silverton Railroad has been on my bucket list for years; we finally got to cross it off last September. (Check out Vacations By Rail for a rail package featuring that, and 4-5 more vintage rail rides in CO). This video reminds me why going to Durango immediately went back on the list -- do it by motorcycle!
I crashed up there! Rode home with zip ties and tape 🤣🤣. Made it home in one piece. But my bike was missing a few things. Have ridden all around that area and new Mexico many times. Never gets old.
Love the video. I will be riding the million dollar highway in August this year. Love the music and would like to know the music being played as you ride the highway. Thanks
Stay at the Southern KOA cabins....they have air conditioning in Southern Durango. They also have the "drunk train" in August where they allow all you can drink beer..so fun. REMEMBER the Government put Natives on that land..not by choice..i was born in Gallup There is also a hotspring hotel in Silverton..hidden on main street
Great job on the video. What month did you ride the Million dollar hwy. I ask because I will be riding from N. Carolina and would like to know the best month to not get weathered out. This ride is on my to ride buck list along with the hwy to the sun.
we did this once, past Ouray all the way about 10 miles pass the dam from Ouray.getting late heading back to.our hotel in Durango via million dollar hwy. at night scary bush dogs coming out nowhere.
8:00 - drone is right over my house. FYI its "Ooh-Ray". Come back when its not so smoky when the skies are deep blue. It's magical. Do the San Juan Skyway Loop: Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, Cortez, Durango. I cheat and cut off in Dolores towards Mancos then Durango. Another great ride is from Ouray to Naturita, then take SH 141 to Grand Junction, roll on to Colorado National Monument...best not in the middle of the summer as it can get pretty damn toasty. Then its an easy hop to the National Parks in Utah.
if you get to Europe try the stelvio pass in Italy it's a biker's paradise the alps and other mountain regions are littered with passes and great roads for Germany to Austria, to Italy to France to Switzerland outstanding trust me. how about some reviews on the new Indians??
I'm going to try to ride the million dollar highway been up and down it in a vehicle Colorado is Gods country are at a place in Durango best food I ever stuck a fork in we stayed the night in Silverton tried to have a beer in one of the pubs there but the locals got very unfriendly towards us we were just passing through after working all week around Pagosa. to this day Silverton leaves a bitter taste in my mouth oh well so much for that i try to watch all your content ride the Tetons
Hey Ryan, just got into your Channel and it’s really inspiring content, which is why I‘d like to buy this particular documentary‘s full version via your webpage. Unfortunately it just says „private video“. Did you already upload it to the store? Cheers man, keep it up!
This entire documentary is free on TH-cam. We do have our Grand Canyon Trip documentary, our newest, for sale on our documentary page. Everything is there ==> www.lawabidingbiker.com/ride-now
rgerdon71 I was flying the drone manually in those shots. Mavic two pro for this video, but I have others. Recording in Log profile and plenty of color grading for the final shots

We went there last year, Durango is a really cool place. And the Million Dollar Highway blew our minds! Absolutely stunning!
The Icefield's Parkway from Jasper Alberta down to Banff Alberta rates right up there as well.
One of the best roads to ride you can’t describe how beautiful is it. Rode it twice and can’t get enough of it. Outstanding camera 📷 shots

What a great ride & a beautiful sight! This highway is definitely on my bucket list.
Been up and down it a few times - that's a very very awesome ride! Thanks, Ryan for sharing!
I've ridden it at least a dozen times in the last 28 years...the locals corrected me...they told me Ouray is pronounced "Yooor-ray"
guitarhawg fun!!
I was correcting him everytime I heard him say it wrong lol
@@motogem1408 I was correcting along with you.:)
Me too.
I feel like one of the luckiest bikers.

This is a great road to ride, thanks for the video
Heading out now ride this in Sept. Thanks for the preview! Nice documentary.

I am a new rider and I love your videos. Thank you!

A great ride...we did it a year before me moved to Germany in 2017. There is some even more beautiful riding over here as well. Ride Safe!
Hey Ryan, I'm from Montrose, I'm sure you passed through it after Ouray. Love riding in Colorado.
Love your videos Ryan. Many thanks from the UK. ....
Glad you like them! Sweet!! More here ==> www.lawabidingbiker.com/ride-now

Looks great. Buddy and I did the Great River Road. We started in Minnesota and made it to St Louis then back.

I am fortunate to live less than 4 hours from the MDH. Rode it three times this past summer. 2023. I also do a lot of fly fishing up in that area.
“And the beer was cold.” Ride on, brother!
Love these Documentary vids as it maybe the only way I see the states
Man your road trip vlogs are epic. It's really inspired me to save for a cruiser and hit the road!
Go for it! Thanks so much for the shout out. Means a lot to me. I work very hard on these. TY
Another great video LAB! Always enjoy your films. If you ever get to Arizona you must ride the Devil's Highway from Alpine to Morenci. 90 miles, over 1,000 twisties.

Idaho has some nice mountain rides too. Make the trip if you can.

Great suggestion!
"Ow-Ray"? Really? 🤣

I rode it in the Fall. Totally different experience.

@@RyanUrlacher Oops - sorry bout the. Come back some time, lots to explore out this way.
you will need to ride Independence Pass, and also the newly paved Cottonwood Pass :)
We ride all over. So many roads, so little time. LOL
1) 'Sturgis' Jeff
2) 'Canada' Jeff
3) 'Million Dollar Highway' Jeff
Have I missed one?
If any yall ever get the cance camp at molase.done this ride many times.America 🇺🇸 Ohio 2020
If you do the history it is because of the cost to build the hyway but it is one of my favorite. Most in the mountains have great views.
Yup, several different rumors. Beautiful ride.
Great vid though. Been there a time or two myself.
Casey Steck nice👍
Going to a HD dealership to get a. . . shirt.
How appropriate, since Harley is a boutique clothiers.
Nice ride though.
Glad you enjoyed!! More here ==> www.lawabidingbiker.com/ride-now
You have to try the Orvis Hot Springs, ( clothing opt lol ) just about 1.5 miles S/O Ridgeway
Ooooooh yah
if you get to Europe try the stelvio pass in Italy it's a biker's paradise the alps and other mountain regions
are littered with passes and great roads for Germany to Austria, to Italy to France to Switzerland outstanding trust me. how about some reviews on the new Indians??

Ryan, what drone are you using to follow you while riding. I want one. 👍🏼
rgerdon71 I was flying the drone manually in those shots. Mavic two pro for this video, but I have others. Recording in Log profile and plenty of color grading for the final shots
What kind of drone was used for this
it's a nice ride but sadly got behind some traffic and 10-15mph wasn't that much fun.
Hot springs in the area are a big draw also !
Its pronounced "yer-ray". Named after Chief Ouray of the Utes.
I'm a west co resident.
kayjo0925 cool!!
lived in OURAY
Nice. Glad you enjoyed it! More here ==> www.lawabidingbiker.com/ride-now
OURAY Co is pronounced YOU- RAY not OUR-RAY I lived there for 25 years. Named for the Chief of the OURAY Indians that settled there.
Meant to say Chief of the UTE Indians who settle there. My Bad/1
It's my accent......~ LOL. Ride safe
Does anyone know why they call it the million dollar highway ?
The tailings from the mines were used to build it and it contained some gold
Pronounced U-Ray.
Why are there socialists' add associated with your videos?
Great video!
Thanks!
