Fence and dirt road leading to San Juan Mountain Range, Ridgway, Colorado, USA
The San Juan Mountains are a high and rugged mountain range in the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Colorado and northwestern New Mexico. The area is highly mineralized (the Colorado Mineral Belt) and figured in the gold and silver mining industry of early Colorado. Major towns, all old mining camps, include Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride. Large scale mining has ended in the region. The San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests cover a large portion of the San Juan Mountains

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the rugged beauty found in Ridgway, Colorado. The image showcases a picturesque dirt road leading towards the majestic San Juan Mountain Range, which stands tall and proud in the background. The San Juan Mountains, part of the Rocky Mountains, are known for their high peaks and untamed wilderness. This area played a significant role in Colorado's gold and silver mining industry during its early days. Today, remnants of this rich history can still be seen in old mining towns like Creede, Lake City, Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride. As you gaze at this stunning photograph by Danita Delimont from Fine Art Storehouse, you can almost feel yourself transported to another time when large-scale mining operations dominated these lands. However, nature has reclaimed much of its territory since then. Nowadays, the San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests cover vast portions of these mountains. These protected areas ensure that visitors can immerse themselves in pristine landscapes while enjoying activities such as hiking or simply taking scenic drives along roads like the one depicted here. Let this breathtaking print serve as a reminder of both Colorado's rich past and its enduring natural beauty that continues to captivate all who venture into this remarkable region.
