It is traversed by U.S. Highway 550, which from Ouray to Red Mountain Pass is the original section of the Million Dollar Highway. It is named for nearby Red Mountain, which is three peaks characterized by the reddish rock that forms their slopes. Black Bear Road, one of the most dangerous mountain roads in the United States, starts from Red Mountain Pass and ends in Telluride.
