A Victorian-era mining town in a box canyon in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado, accessible by a single road or a regional airport perched on a mesa above the valley. The ski area operates on the surrounding peaks, and a free aerial gondola connects the town to the Mountain Village development. Bridal Veil Falls, the highest freestanding waterfall in Colorado at 365 feet, is visible from the east end of town. The summer festival season includes film, bluegrass, and jazz events that draw significant crowds.
