Silverton - Southwest Colorado

Silverton, Colorado, The CVD
 

Step back in history and stay awhile in Silverton. For years, this area has produced gold, silver and other metals. Today, Old Town Square invites you to browse shops filled with Old West charm and rare antiques. Visit the Grand Imperial Hotel, built in 1882 - a prefect example of Victorian architecture. The atmosphere may have provided the setting for several Western movies, not only to take advantage of the historic look, but to capture the splendorous mountain magic as well. Filled with back country trails, the area is perfect for a 4-wheel drive vehicle. For a truly memorable vacation, ride the Durango-Narrow Gauge Railroad starting in Durango, then spend some time in Silverton reliving history.
