Easy to log reward for a rewarding trip to another Colorado ghost town and intense high country scenery.
Between Gunnison and Buena Vista lies the scenic and historic Taylor Valley, Reservoir, the S flowing Taylor River, a bumpy dirt road (FR742)and a once bustling town of 1000 miners where only a 10 site campground now sits. Dorchester Townsite existed from 1896-1914 and boasted 2 stores, hotels, restaurants, livery stables, saloons and a barber shop. It was a town of miners and prospectors when gold was discovered on Italian Mountain. Today friendly US Forest Volunteers spend summers in the "Guard Station," a renovated miner's cabin. Search "Dorchester, CO" for photo.
