Silverton, Colorado - Wenimuche Wilderness Backpack

I travel down to Silverton, Colorado to backpack a unique hiking loop that takes me through the Wenimuche Wilderness and back towards Silverton where I explore the Silver Lake mine complex. Silver Lake has some of the most amazing old mining artifacts, well-preserved in this high alpine area. Silver Lake is also famous for having the most snow in a 24-hour period - 6.3 feet on April 14-15, 1921.
