Review:
Silverton is an old mining town in the San Juan Mountains which today provides a rugged environment for adventure sport enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
Most of downtown has been designated a National Historic District where you can learn about the history of the area at several historic attractions.
The rugged and elevated landscape and disused mining roads provide a challenging playground for mountain biking and off-road vehicles, while fishermen can head to Molas Lake to cast a line. You can go hiking in the San Juan National Forest, take a four wheel drive along the Alpine Loop Scenic Byway, or savor a scenic ride on the Durango & Silverton Rail Road.
