The Million Dollar Highway
The first few minutes of this PBS documentary are aerial shots of US550 - views you don't get from the highway. Most of the rest of the hour is a worthwhile history of the area.

We have driven the highway between Ouray and Silverton many times in the Jeep to access trails. We limit traveling in the LD to once a trip.

People are overwhelmed with the scenery just from driving it. In a passenger car, you can stop frequently and look. There are fewer safe areas to stop a motor home. Splendid views from the mountain tops if you have a high-clearance vehicle.
