Rio Grand National Forest

We are in South Fork, CO now. We drove to Creed, CO about 25 miles north of us.

This little train car rides on the tracks and transports people to different locations along the track.

These pictures don't do it justice, but this is one of the most beautiful valleys, we have seen!

It is very expansive and just awesome!

The Silver Thread Scenic Byway links Creede, Lake City, and South Fork via Hwy 149. This road has been designated as a U.S. Forest Service National Scenic Byway as well as a Colorado State Scenic and Historic Byway. 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.
