I have driven all over North America. From southern California to Maine, and the Mexican border to the Arctic Ocean. The only place I have not driven is the Florida Keys.
The Million Dollar Highway is by far one of my favorite roads. Miles and miles of twists and turns.Spectacular vistas as far as the eye can see. It's like driving the Alps. If you have never driven this road, you have never driven the best of North America. Nothing in Alberta, British Columbia, The Yukon, or Alaska can compare.
My favorite drive is south through Lake City and Creed. West over Wolf Creek Pass and through Pagosa Springs and Durango. Then north on 550 to Ourey and Ridgeway. I try and do this every 1-2 years. From Colorado Springs, it's an easy 3 day trip. And a slightly rushed 2 day trip.
