The beautiful alpine scenery of historic Summit County Breckenridge, Frisco, Dillon, Silverthorne, Keystone and Copper Mountain and Eagle County Vail, Beaver Creek, Avon and Edwards provides the backdrop for gold rush stories, ghost town guides and trail directions for 100 back country routes for summer hiking, plus winter cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Historian and hiker Mary Ellen Gilliland, a popular Colorado author, gives readers a gateway to the Colorado peak experience. Colorado's gold and silver rush, 1859-1910, flourished here, beneath the skyscraping peaks of the Continental Divide. The mineral rush history is dynamic and colorful, enlivened by a parade of saints and sinners who marched across the early-day scene.
