Salida, Colorado | Amazing Views on Ghost Town Gravel Ride

Near Salida, CO is a 26-mile gravel ride to the old 1880's mining town of Turret. The town of Turret itself is mostly gone and the few buildings that remain are on private property. There is really only one building you can get close to, but the views along this ride are worth the work and the town is a little bonus at the end.

Love Salida! Turret looks so scenic. Have you hiked Mayflower Gulch (not in salida but all the mining structures made me think of it)? If you do, also go all the way to the top. It's gorgeous!
