A popular hiking trail just off of Highway 550 south of Ouray has been closed due to safety concerns related to the instability of the soil on the trail.
A Ridgway man who lost control of his car and drove off of Red Mountain Pass landing over 300 feet off of the road somehow managed to survived the crash.
The section of US Highway 550 between Ouray and Silverton over Red Mountain Pass has been getting a facelift over the last couple of seasons and now the work is done, driving should be less stressful.
