today we're going to visit two former
mining towns
of the southwest part of colorado
euray and silverton are deep into the
san juan mountains
and they are connecting each other by
the popular
million dollar highway
let's start by euray and the very famous
box canyon falls
[Music]
hello there it's a long
way up
[Music]
nice view of the town
yes we know you ray is there
yep watch your head
look at the color of that water
[Music]
we are at the top of the canyon now
and the view is you know my world
amazing
[Music]
the cave looks a little tiny
but let's give it a shot
[Music]
at least i can see the light at the end
of the tunnel
[Music]
that was very nice but let's go see the
town
euray is called the switzerland of
america
[Music]
although it doesn't have a ski resort it
has
many winter activities such as
ice climbing backcountry skiing
and a snowmobiling
in fact it is known by having some of
the best ice climbing
in the world
[Music]
summer is also very active and the
restaurants
and brew houses offer a perfect place
to end a very active day
[Music]
that's the historic hotel vermont
[Music]
built in 1886 with a price tag of
75 000
oh beautiful flowers
[Music]
is it dinner time yet
[Music]
cheers
is all very nice and tasty but
we need to get up into the mountains and
find a place to come tonight
what a great spot and
look at the view
with all this water noise i'm going to
sleep like a baby
well it's time to say good night
it's a chilly morning
[Music]
but we have some company
[Music]
but it's time to get on the million
dollar highway
and go to silverton
[Music]
oh what a nice waterfall
silverton is one of the cutest town that
i
ever seen
the many mountain passes make silvertone
a paradise
for off-roading
this town is also a winter destination
it has colorado's highest and steepest
ski mountain silverton mountain
it is true that you can explore the town
of silverton
in less than one day
[Music]
but if you have or rent an off-road
vehicle
the surrounding mountains will give you
endless possibilities of exploring
[Music]
silvertone is year-round open and offers
different types of accommodations and
restaurants
although silvertone is full of modern
activities
its buildings will draw you back to the
time of the gold rush
when those pioneers settle on these
mountains
for the first time
[Music]
