Queen of the San Juans was kind to me yesterday. This was my first 14er!

Need help IDing location of photos I took over 30 years ago.
I'm hoping someone can help me verify the location of these photos I took over 30 years ago. I have Red Mountain Pass written on the back of one, and I'm almost 100% positive they were taken just off the Million Dollar Highway. My problem is I have a ton of photos from several Colorado vacations in the early to mid 90s, and I'm hoping I didn't mix up the location with some I took on the Alpine Loop.
I'd love to know more about this location, and if it's still there and accessible now. We're planning a trip from Texas back through Colorado to Utah in a little over a month, and I'm planning to detour south from Ridgway to Ouray and would love to detour a little farther to this spot if it's still there and easily accessible in a 2WD small SUV.

powerlines in ouray (and durango)
Maybe a bit of a dumb question but I’m making a solo drive from Santa Fe to Ouray and then maybe to Durango to visit a friend. I’m deathly terrified of powerlines/high-voltage lines. Not the local single stick looking ones but the larger ones. Like freeze up, panic attack, nausea level of terrified.
How bad is the powerline situation in the area? I especially don’t like the large high-voltage wire type ones or the wooden ones with an x in the middle.
I was in Portland and Seattle and was STRESSED with the amount of high voltage lines lol like, never go back stressed. I know the situations in New Mexico on the route so I’m good there, it’s within Colorado I’m unsure about. Like a couple here and there that I can quickly pass under is fine. But long stretches and close to the road are hell.

How much time in Ouray?
Doing a 5 day trip to Ouray in early October. Trying to decide whether to spend 2 days of it in Telluride. We like to hike. Want to spend a day exploring the Million Dollar Highway, a day doing Blue Lakes Trail, a day in Ouray for via ferratta and perimeter. What are the other must-do hikes or activities with or without Telluride?
