A waterfall just above Highland Mary Lakes Trailhead. Silverton, Colorado, USA. (Due to altitude breathlessness, we turned back after 4.4 miles round trip with 1200 ft gain, including 2.2 miles RT on road too steep for our RV.) Silverton, Colorado, USA. Silverton is a former silver mining camp, now the federally-designated Silverton Historic District. Durango is linked to Silverton by the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a National Historic Landmark. Silverton no longer has active mining, but subsists on tourism, maintenance of US 550 (which links Montrose with Durango), mine pollution remediation, and retirees.
