Driving to Buena Vista, CO, mountains are spectacular!
We drove to St. Elmo a ghost town near Buena Vista.
St. Elmo was originally settled in 1878 and was made official in 1880 when gold and silver began to bring many people to the area. The town was laid out in six feet of snow and provided for the miners working in the nearby mines. The town was laid out in six feet of snow and provided for the miners working in the nearby mines.
