Gateway
to All Season Fun! You will be attracted to the
far-off beauty of the Del Norte area just as the first
Spanish families, in 1859, were drawn to this peaceful
niche in the shadows of the San Juan Mountains. In the
mid 1870's, prospectors had found the nearby San Juan Mountains
rich in gold and silver deposits. Today, Del Norte remains
rich in heritage and culture.
