COLORADO HIGH

One of the best drives or rides can be found in South West Colorado.  So as I sit here on a chilly December day and homebound for the Christmas Holiday I reminisce of this drive to the ghost town of ANIMAS FORKS.   Just outside Silverton., Colorado.  Easy drive or ride; but as stated in this blog before, I wouldn't do it in anything other then a 4x4 because you will need the clearence as the road can be rough in many places.  Photos below don't realy show how rough it can be.

The Jail

Above is the William Duncan House.  The finest home built in Animas.  

         Bits and pieces of cabins.

The season now is over this year. The passes are closed by the snow.   Next Summer, if you can, plan a trip to Durango, Colorado and ride the train.  Drive up to Silverton and go see Animas Forks Ghost Town.  There are many more sights to see - Drive up and over Ophir Pass and have lunch in Telluride.  Drive the "Million Dollar Highway"   If you have "big ones" try Black Bear Pass and so many more!

See You Down The Road
