Decisions, Decisions...
A drive up the Silver Thread Scenic Byway, bag a fourteener, attend
a gallery opening? Is there time to catch the evening hatch and still
make the curtain at the Rep? The wildflowers are bustin' on Slumgullion,
but the mine tour leaves at 1:00! A premier Arts town, in the heart
of Colorado's spectacular high country, can put a little pressure on
our visitors.

Silver
Thread Scenic Byway
The Silver Thread Scenic Byway links Creede, Lake City, and South Fork
via Hwy 149. The Silver Thread name alludes not only to the rich veins
of silver ore that lured miners and settlers, but also to the route
as it weaves along spectacular river canyons and climbs over the Continental
Divide via Spring Creek Pass.
