Monte Vista Colorado - Scenic Drives

Scenic drives to consider in the Monte Vista area are listed below. Click on any scenic byway or backway listed below for complete information.

Bachelor Historic Loop		17 miles	1 to 2 hours

	This scenic route traces the history of Creede's silver mining district through the rugged high mountains of the San Juans. Interpretive signs and a guidebook relate much of the history of these storied mountain canyons.

Los Caminos Antiguos		129 miles	3 hours

	Los Caminos Antiguos is Spanish for "The Ancient Roads," and this network of paved roads does indeed travel through territory that has been used by various peoples for thousands of years.

Silver Thread Scenic Byway		75 miles	2 hours

	This route through the heart of the San Juan mountains is full of remnants of the mining boom that first brought white settlers to the area. The colorful scenery, however, is an equally valid reason to take this winding drive, which offers a wonderful sample of the famous mountains of Colorado.
