Known as the “Switzerland of America,” this small old mining town tucked away in the San Juan Mountains is the perfect destination for outdoor lovers; and with quick access to hiking, jeeping, canyoneering, backpacking, fishing, ghost towns, river rafting trips, horseback riding, rock climbing and mountain biking it’s easy to see why! And that doesn’t even begin to cover the winter activities: downhill, backcountry & cross country skiing, sledding, snowmobiling, snowcat skiing, ice climbing and, of course, the hot springs (which are luckily open year round!)!
