    Colorado is such a majestic and beautiful place to see. I probably won’t have a chance to drive there on the road I’m from California but it’s great to watch the YouTube videos and enjoy it. Man that’s awesome. 😎

  • Visitors to our community come from all over the world to experience Ouray in its entirety. Whether it's swimming in the Ouracy hot springs, hiking trails, learning about the Ute Indians and mining history, shopping on our unique Main Street or seeing wildlife, wildflowers and waterfalls.I have visited Silvestron many times, it is a place you will enjoy again and again.Silvestron is a National Historic Ladmark , part of the San Juan Skway ( with the Millian Dollar Highway connecting Silvestron with Ouraya. In the nearby Weminuche Wilderness, Silvestron is a haven for hikers. We rode this 550 route passing Ironton, Red Mountain No.3 , Anwil Mountain, a route with minimal hills , calm with lots of beautiful views.Greetings from Chicago, Illinois.
