High country, steep country. Along a mining road in Colorado's spectacular San Juan Mountains. A glimpse of Camp Bird, of gold-mining fame, in the background. Near Ouray, scenic center of the Million Dollar Highway.
The text reads, "Red Mountains, colorful peaks of the San Juan Range, which suddenly loom into sight here at Ironton Park after the climb along The Million Dollar Highway through Uncompahgre Gorge, on the road from Ouray to Silverton, Colorado."
