Touring the Alpine Loop
These back roads in the San Juan Mountains were once
used to haul mining equipment and supplies to high-elevation silver and
gold mines. The extracted ores were then hauled out to the mills and
train depots, helping to fuel the American expansion of the late 1800s
and early 1900s.
Now a National Back Country Byway, the Alpine Loop offers a look into
that era, with relics of the mining boom scattered along the way. You'll
see ghost towns, cabins, mills, and mine sites, with interpretive signs
that explain the significance of this road to the development of the
American West.
