Silver. It was all about silver back in 1889 when Nicholas Creede hit an extensive vein that generated the last great silver boom in Colorado. The town of Creede was born.

Pictures don't do this area justice. You have to see it to appreciate it as do many other places in this great country of ours. We are so lucky.

Bachelor Historic Tour guide book available at the Chamber of Commerce for $1.10. Well worth it.

Stop at the Chamber of Commerce on Main Street and pick up a copy of the Creede Visitor's Guide which gives you everything you need to know and see while visiting. It makes it so easy and again the lady that was on duty the day we arrived in town was so friendly.

Gods country - you bet! Start of the Loop. It get's even better.

Can't wait to go again and rockhound this Fall up at the Last Chance Mine. This is the last secret I'm going to give away. Sow Belly Agate with flecks of silver I hope.

8300 feet of elevation here so summers are short but pleasant with the headwaters of the Rio Grande with trophy trout fishing right at the back of the RV Park. Doesn't get any better than this. More secrets revealed.

Clean, Clean, and more Clean with an awesome view. Last Fall trip and this Fall trip. We love this place, the people are great, the town is quaint with alot of mining history. Was my best kept secret.

If you look close you can see where the trail splits and takes you on the Cave Loop Trail, a very easy 1.2 mile trail that should also be done. $5.00 for a day pass for a vehicle of fewer than 10 people to enter the Monument. Such a bargain. Word of warning, no dogs allowed, period. Enjoy...

Easy to understand why this is a sacred place of the Cochiti Pueblo Indians and we are lucky to have them share this with us.

Easy hike to the top of this 3 mile round trip trail. Only 630 feet of elevation gain. Worth the slight pain.

Hence the reason for the name of the National Monument.

If you are in the Santa Fe, NM area and want to go hiking this is an interesting place to visit. Great camping facility close by at the Cochiti Lake Corps of Engineers campground.

Did not have much time to spend in town but would have been fun to go to the museum and some of the quaint local shops and eateries. Alot of history associated with this town stemming from the gold rush days. Maybe next time.

View from the road on the way back to historic Leadville.

Will there be trout for supper? The lake was full of them. Campground is located at 9780 ft. above sea level, closes early in September.

Nice campground at the west end of Turquoise Lake in the San Isabel National Forest outside of Leadville Colorado. Busy, better to go in the off season or with reservations.

Beautiful lake full of trout. Did not have time to fish it but took the word of the locals who had alot of experience fishing the lake. We will get back one of these days!

Beautiful alpine campground that housed the fire crews that fought the careless human started Wallow Fire, Arizona's biggest wildfire. The fire burned massive areas but jumped around and missed alot of spectacular scenery. It has and is recovering nicely.

Family owned and operated with all fruit pies baked from scratch daily. Looks can be deceiving from the outside so don't pass it by. Written up in Arizona Highways so I had to find out for myself. Also in some of the most beautiful camping area of the state. Try Hannagan Meadow, K.P...

Last night out on our fall trip last year. Do you see any pie on their faces?

Good food and friendly. Known for their chicken fried steak and pies. Don't pass it by if you're in the area.

Window Trail in Big Bend National Park 5/19/13

Make sure you take this moderate trail if camped at Chisos Basin campground. 1100' elevation gain but worth the effort.
