Pass through the old Victorian mining town of Silverton, which was established in the early 1870's. Then venture off the paved roads on to old mining trails heading northeast out of Silverton. Spectacular tumbling waterfalls, snow-fed rivers & cool mountain air greet you as you wined through the old mining towns of Howardsville, Middleton and Eureka as you climb to 11,200 feet. You will stop at Animas Forks to explore one of the most preserved mining ghost towns in Colorado with many buildings that are still standing surrounded by the high mountain peaks of the San Juan Mountains and rolling alpine meadows. Ponder what an adventure it would have been living in the high country in the late 1800's. Kids have been known to find "gold" and in the early season they can even get into a snowball fight! For lunch enjoy a deli style lunch with delicious sides to satisfy any appetite. Travel higher into the alpine tundra where you'll view the summer wild flowers shining in a rainbow of colors, especially in mid to late summer. Marmots, white-tailed deer, and elk herds may be seen as hawks and eagles keep an eye on you from above. On your drive back down to Durango, you will wonder how early settlers ever managed to survive.
