One of our day journey’s in Chaffee County took us north of Buena Vista on Highway 24 to Clear Creek Reservoir. As you turn into the reservoir area on County Road 390, you are now entering
Clear Creek Canyon. Just past the lake, you’ll enter a stretch of ghost towns that harken back to the mining days of the late 1800’s. This twelve mile stretch includes preserved mining camps, ghost towns and relics from the Silver Boom era. Read more about
Clear Creek Canyon HERE.
