This local history museum is the home of Barney Ford, preserved largely as it was in 1882. Ford was an escaped slave, civil rights leader, and businessman. The docents at the museum are very friendly and can talk you through his story.

The Frisco Historic Park & Museum features a collection of preserved buildings and artifacts, including 11 original structures from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These include the 1902 Schoolhouse Museum, a log chapel, a jail, a trapper's cabin, and several historic homes, as well as Native American items and mining-era relics. Admission to both the park and the museum is free.

The reservoir was created when construction of the Green Mountain Dam was completed in 1943. There a numerous campgrounds and access points dotted around the lake and the road around it makes for a great ride!

As unique as it is beautiful the Red Cliff Bridge is Colorado's only cantilevered steel arch bridge. Originally constructed in 1940, the bridge was heavily restored in 2004. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1985

This is a scenic spot to look out over the reservoir. The dam itself was built in the early 1960s and required relocating the original town of Dillon, which is now sitting beneath the water. Today, the reservoir holds Denver’s largest water supply and sends it through a tunnel under the Continental Divide. Surrounded by mountain towns, Dillon Reservoir is a popular locale for boating, fishing, and summer concerts at the lakeside amphitheater.

From the Dillion Reservoir Recpath there are great views of the south end of the Dillion Reservoir. The edge of the water is only a few feet away, and with the occasional tree obstructing the view, it is overall a great way to see the reservoir.

Leadville, Colorado is the highest town in the US at 10,152 feet above sea-level. This small former mining town has recently begun to transform into a recreational hub in large part due to the Leadville 100, a 100-mile ultramarathon, and its proximity to the two tallest mountains in the state: Mount Elbert and Mount Massive. Harrison Ave is the main street of Leadville. Nestled in the colorful, historic buildings that reflect its rich history as one of the most prosperous silver mining town in the state are coffee shops, boutiques, gear stores, antique and thrift stores, and the famous Melenzana Store, where (by appointment only) you can purchase some of Colorado's most iconic fleeces.

Clinton Gulch Reservoir sits right on the edge of Hwy 91, sandwiched between the road and the foothills of Clinton Creek Basin. 13,000 foot mountains tower in the background and bounce off reflections in the water. There is a walking path that actually journeys around the water's edge that you can access from the Gold Hill parking lot, but the views are equally as great from the roadside.
