TIL about The Million Dollar Highway in Colorado. It was built in 1883 as a toll way and operated as such until the 1920s when it was rebuilt. Legend has it that an early traveler was so overcome by vertigo on the steep, winding road that he said he would never travel it again even for a million $.
