Colorado Guided Tours

Trailhead Drop Service for Guided Hikes


	We provide guided day-hikes into some of the famous historical places around Silverton. The Lewis Mill, one of last truly large gold and silver mills left in the area is a tough hike, but worth every step. We also guide people into Silver Lake, the mining camp with no roads leading to it. There are other great day hikes, too, including Hope Lake, Highland Mary Lakes, the Corkscrew Turntable, Bear Creek trail, and others. Give us a call for more information. 1-800-494-8687 Call us at 800-434-8887
		While hiking to the Corkscrew turntable, we actually walk on the old ties of the original railroad bed! The old Lewis Mill sits at 12,200 feet elevation. It's amazing to come over a hill, and see a huge building sitting there!
