Description
A delightful sight the first week of August against the Mountain in Rico, Colorado.
Spanish for "rich," Rico's wealth lies in its mines and the accompanying history. Trappers first worked the valley in 1832-33, taking mainly beaver and other fur-bearing animals. The first gold was discovered in 1866 by Colonel Nash, a Texan who led a team of 18 prospectors. His work was cut short, and in 1869 Sheldon Shafer and Joseph Fearheiler, prospectors heading for Montana, uncovered Nash's beginnings.
The Utes drove away many initial miners, and the mining rush didn't truly begin until 1878 when the Utes signed the Brunot Agreement, thus surrendering their land claims in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado.
If you're looking for a laid back vacation in a restful mountain haven with unlimited outdoor recreational opportunities, you've found the ideal spot - Rico, Colorado.
