About Bonanza

Tucked into the rugged hills of Saguache County, Bonanza is a quiet mountain community with roots stretching back to the 1880s silver boom. Today, it stands as one of Colorado's smallest incorporated towns, home to just a handful of residents surrounded by the Rio Grande National Forest. Life here is remote, peaceful, and entirely off the beaten path, making it an appealing spot for anyone drawn to frontier history and true backcountry solitude.
