via US-160 E and US-550 N


In 1860, prospectors began to explore the Ute Territory of the mountains and found both gold and silver in what we now know as the "Baker's Park" area. After the Civil War, miners returned and established Silverton as a legal town in 1874. The town attracted miners to its various mining camps for many years. Silverton was intended to be a respite from the harsh lifestyle of a minor and as a result, held many saloons and a red-light district, Notorious Blair Street. 


Silverton today... Silverton ceased to be an active mining town in the 1990s as the demand for gold and silver decreased. While there is still gold and silver left, much of what makes Silverton attractive today is the abundance of outdoor recreational activities. In total, the town of Silverton is only around 0.8 square miles according to the US Census Bureau. It may be a small mountain town, but it is also a site for many adventures.
