The rest of the route, starting from Durango and including Molas Divide and Coal Bank Pass, is simply US 550. Still, quite stunning.
Ferret, you want the entire San Juan Skyway, which is a very scenic loop which also includes the Dallas Divide and Lizard Head Pass. Other great roads in the area include Gateway Canyon (not to be missed!) and the Silver Thread Scenic Byway.
Technically he was on the million dollar highway. I just said I was riding from Durango to Ouray, which has that stretch of the million dollar highway.
