The Silver Thread Colorado Scenic & Historic Byway is known for its incredible contributions to the nation’s silver mining boom as well as for some of the country’s most notorious outlaws. This byway provides important access to the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and intersects the Old Spanish Trail. Today, this byway still acts as a reminder that this road not only winds up toward the sky, but also back in time.
