Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Million Dollar Highway runs north and south directly through the middle of the San Juan Mountains of Southwestern, Colorado - some of the most beautiful and rugged country in all of North America, if not the world. There would be no road today if it were not for the treasure chest of minerals that early-day prospectors found, for all the gold and silver in the world was worth nothing if it could not be economically transported out of the mountains. The San Juan communities needed a wagon road, and that is what Otto Mears and others gave them. However, the road was realized only after expenditures of what today would be millions of dollars and almost fifty years of labor. This book is not only the story of an amazing highway. It is also the history of the development of mining and transportation of all types throughout the rugged San Juans. The stunning beauty along the route is pointed out and the complex geology of the mountains and the mines of the San Juan Mountains is explained. This book also details the histories of Durango, Silverton, and Ouray - three quaint, Victorian towns along the road - and tells tales of dozens of small settlements that are now ghost towns.

Book excerpt: A little over a century ago, the Red Mountain Mining District in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado was the scene of a "silver rush" with an output of precious metals second in Colorado only to that of Leadville. In a period of less than twenty-five years, more than thirty million dollars in silver, lead, zinc, copper, and gold were taken from the rich deposits in the mines along Red Mountain Divide -- an amount roughly equivalent to a quarter billion of today's dollars. The histories of the communities that sprang into being with these mines, the railroads constructed to service them, and the men and women who lived, worked and died in them, are the threads deftly woven into the richly textured story of Mountains of Silver. It is a colorful and varied tapestry that depicts the lives of prospectors who made the first rich strikes; the land promoters, speculators, and road-and-railroad builders who capitalized on the frenzied rush to the area; and the motley collection of miners, lawyers, merchants, prostitutes, saloonkeepers, and freighters who attempted to profit from the boom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting new edition for our popular Southwest Colorado High Country Day Hikes. This new edition has the same trails from Ouray and Silverton as our 1st Edition, but we have taken out the 12 Crested Butte trails and replaced them with 17 new hikes from Lake City. Crested Butte Colorado 65 Scenic Day Hikes continues to be a popular seller so the 12 hikes we have taken out of this edition are still covered in the Crested Butte book. Nicknamed, "A Peak Experience", Lake City is the staging ground for five Colorado 14,000 foot peaks: Handies, Uncompahgre, Wetterhorn, Red Cloud and Sunshine. For peak baggers, this is the place to go; for hikers who don't want to hike to 14,000 feet, you can still hike these trails to lower return points and still experience this grand scenery. We have detailed shorter, easier sections for all abilities. There is much more to the Lake City hikes than 14,000 peaks. The famous Colorado and Continental Divide Trails pass right around Lake City. We have detailed five different sections of these trails so day hikers can enjoy these amazing backpacker routes. So, put your boots on and go Take A Hike! This is Colorado High Country that dreams are made of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive new guidebook to Colorado contains colorful in-depth descriptions of 172 different rides that can be combined in a variety of ways to create the best trips for all riding styles and interests. Each ride is mapped individually, and the individual rides each have their own more detailed maps, along with route descriptions, photos, local points of interest, and historical background information. Regional maps show how the rides can be combined to form journeys from half a day to several days in length, on paved roads or into the back country, or both. Color photos for each ride introduce the incredible variety of terrain, and historical photos placed next to present day shots show how much (or how little) has changed in the intervening years.
