You will absolutely love the entire trip from Durango to Ouray, especially the "Million Dollar Highway". Unfortunately for me, I'll never get to take that trip again, because it absolutely terrified my wife. The $1,000,000 highway has stunning views, but it's about 1,000 ft straight down with little or no guard rails (at least when we went there 8 years ago or so). I tried holding my wife's hand while driving it, but she wanted me to have both hands on the wheel. Bottom line, you'll love the trip as long as the passenger is not afraid of heights. You'll love Durango, Silverton and Ouray. You know the waterfall on Coor's beer is the waterfall in Ouray. You should also take the small gauge train from Durango to Silverton and back (save a day for that trip, it's awsome).
