Explore three significant and historical town on the Turquoise Trail of New Mexico - Cerrillos, Madrid and Golden. Each offers a glimpse into the heady days when mining for gold, silver and other precious metals, as well as hard and soft coal, made this region wealthy. Today, each is virtually forgotten, although not officially ghost towns. Madrid is being resurrected as an artists' colony; Cerrillos is still a little sleepy village;; Golden, with only 10 families, is but a blip on the map.
