Description:
Alta, Colorado, is a historic ghost town nestled in the San Juan Mountains, known for its role in the late 1800s silver mining boom. Once a bustling community, Alta thrived during the height of mining activity but was gradually abandoned as resources dwindled and mining technology advanced. Today, it stands as a well-preserved relic of Colorado's mining past, with its weathered buildings and machinery offering visitors a glimpse into the rugged life of a bygone era.
