Don't miss this hike if you're in the Summit County area. Lovely old mining huts to explore as well.

I hiked the trail to old boston ghost town with a few local's. They were very informative except for the names of the surrounding mountains, which totally surround you. The views are breath taking.

If there is such a thing as "Love at first sight" my heart is in the Rockies, near Leadville. The mountians, land and waters are just as majestic as the big, blue sky in Colorado.

This is without question one of the most beautiful locations in Colorado. For those with an interest in Ghost Towns and Mining ruins, this is it.
