ColoradoOutdoors > popular today > "Open Door" was photographed at Bent's Fort in Colorado, near La Junta, CO.  Your eye is drawn down the covered walkway to the open door.  Bent's Fort was built in the 1830's by the Bent brothers for the western fur trade.  It was an important stop on the Old Spanish Trail to Sante Fe.

ColoradoOutdoors > popular today > Creede, Colorado was established in 1890 after the discovery of silver in this mine by Nicholas Creede on Willow Creek.  Silver brought a short term prosperity to Creede.  The silver played out and most of the residents left.  Creede is a small town which attracts retirees and people who want a quiet life.  These old abandoned mines are all that is left of the mining industry.
