Discover somewhere hidden in Silverton
You can still imagine the clang of pickaxes and the clink of whiskey shots as you stroll down the dusty streets of Silverton. Set high in the Rocky Mountains of southern Colorado, this is a place that still echoes with the ghosts of the great American Gold Rush. As the heart of San Juan County, it's also grown up to tout truly handsome turn-of-the-century architecture; part Wild West, part Victorian revival. And then there are those Silverton vacation rentals, ranging from cozy mountain lodges to historic loft conversions nestled between the old saloons.

Skis and hiking shoes at the ready in Silverton
When the warm weather dominates, Silverton is a veritable outdoor hub. Packed into its own fold in the middle of the Rocky Mountains, Silverton vacation rentals have trailheads right on their doorstep, not to mention scenic drives through the heart of some of Colorado's most dramatic ranges. Come winter, the hiking boots are swapped for ski gear. Salopettes donned, the Silverton Mountain beckons to the north, and the winding black diamonds and blue runs of Telluride are just an hour over La Junta peak to the west.
Silverton is shrouded by the Rocky Mountains
Protected reserves, rugged mountain ranges, and national forests surround Silverton on practically all sides. To the north, the serrated tips of Mount Sneffels herald one of the fabled fourteeners of Colorado, and the Silverton Mountain is awash with snow-dusted off-piste runs. To the south, the San Juan National Forest is pierced by the hooting steam trains of the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad – a must-ride deep into canyons and snow-capped summits. Meanwhile, the roaring waterfalls and the Continental Divide of the Rio Grande spread out in the east.
