Silverton Colorado

Just imagine a highway that’s shorter than a city block, yet it plays a key role in Colorado’s rugged terrain.

Imagine a hidden gem in the San Juan Mountains, where the water is so clear, it feels like a mirror reflecting the sky.

Silverton, Colorado is a small town many consider to be a hidden gem, with many great food options to choose from.

In 1883, the county of Ouray commissioned Otto Mears to build a toll road from the town of Ouray up to the top of the Uncompahgre Canyon.
