Silver Cliff, CO

Tucked into the Wet Mountain Valley with stunning views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Silver Cliff is a quiet town with a fascinating past. During the 1880s silver rush, it briefly boomed into one of the largest settlements in Colorado. Today, it shares a peaceful valley with neighboring Westcliffe, offering wide-open spaces, dark starry skies, and quirky local lore like the mysterious blue lights said to dance across the historic cemetery.
