These photos are from the
Colorado ghost town of
Animas Forks. Animas Forks
was built in the late 1800's by
prospectors seeking silver,
gold, lead and zinc. The town
is located 12 miles Northeast
of Silverton Colorado nestled
in the San Juan mountains at
an elevation of 11,200 ft.
The structures are currently
being restored and preserved
for everyone to enjoy for
generations to come.
Now, join me as I take a
journey back in time...
