A True Mountain Town Experience
Silverton isn’t just a destination — it’s a feeling.
This historic mining town is full of character, charm, and stories you couldn’t make up if you tried. Walk the streets of a real Old West town, explore historic buildings along Greene and Blair Streets, and step back in time where miners, saloons, and legends once ruled the mountains.
Looking to dig deeper into local history?
Take the Old Hundred Gold Mine Tour or visit the town museum at the north end of Main Street — the tales from Silverton’s wild mining days are as bold as the landscape itself.
And when it’s time to refuel? You’ll find great food, friendly locals, and plenty of spots to kick back and relax before heading back onto the highway.

A Brief History of Silverton, Colorado
High in the San Juan Mountains, the town of Silverton, Colorado was born from adventure, ambition, and the pursuit of riches hidden deep within the peaks.
Founded in the early 1870s, Silverton quickly grew during Colorado’s mining boom after gold and silver were discovered in the surrounding mountains. What began as a rugged mining camp soon transformed into a thriving frontier town, officially incorporated in 1876 — the same year Colorado became a state.
At its peak, Silverton was a bustling hub filled with miners, merchants, saloons, hotels, and railroads. The area’s rich mineral deposits brought fortune seekers from all over the world, earning the town a reputation for both opportunity and grit. Life in Silverton wasn’t easy — harsh winters, high elevation, and remote conditions tested everyone who came — but the promise of prosperity kept the town alive.
The arrival of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in 1882 changed everything. The railroad connected Silverton to the outside world, transporting ore, supplies, and people through the rugged Animas River Canyon — a lifeline that helped the town survive and grow.
As mining declined in the early 1900s, Silverton adapted. Rather than fading away, the town preserved its history, character, and Western spirit. Today, Silverton stands proudly as a National Historic Landmark, known for its beautifully preserved buildings, rich storytelling, and deep respect for its past.
From its mining roots to its modern role as a destination for riders, adventurers, and history lovers, Silverton remains a place where the Old West still feels very much alive — surrounded by towering peaks, legendary roads, and stories etched into every street.
