🖌️ About the Excursion

Nestled deep in the San Juan Mountains and nicknamed the Switzerland of America, this mining town is full of a rich, colorful, and electric history filled with miners, cowboys, outlaws, ladies of the evening, and many more. Much of this heritage can be found in historic bars and saloons such as the Western Hotel, Elks Lodge, Beaumont, Outlaw, and the Wright Opera House. The historic patrons of these watering holes can honestly say, “We Built This City.”
