When it comes to Colorado, there is no shortage of tiny towns and incredible scenery to go around… but when it comes to a tiny town completely surrounded by breathtaking scenery? You can only find that in the small mountain town of Silverton:
Located amidst the enchanting San Juan Mountains, Silverton is a tiny town of nearly 650 of the luckiest people in Colorado.
Getting to enjoy this view everyday? #blessed
Established as a mining town in 1874, Silverton is known as much for its charming downtown area as it is for...
...historic attractions like the unforgettable Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad...
...and a number of epic outdoor recreational opportunities!
While we love nearly every aspect of this small San Juan town, our favorite part of all has to be Silverton's jaw-dropping surroundings.
