- If you want to see a ghost town that has some of the most beautiful scenery and colorful history, then St. Elmo, Colorado will make you not want to leave once you're there. Situated near the top of the Continental Divide, this semi-ghost town is wonderfully preserved and a favorite among ghost town enthusiasts and a perfect stop for summertime travel.
The people who generally made the most money in these gold rushes were the outfitters who sold supplies. Great video, I have to visit it.
These are wonderful. Keep them coming!
Excellent episode as always! I've been to St. Elmo three different times and have studied some of the history there. Your presentation revives my memories and enjoyable times at this amazing ghost town. Thank you so much for your wonderful episodes of Ghost Towns and More. They are always so enjoyable, and I love going back and watching them over and over again. Thanks again, my good friend.
I have also been there three times,first time in 1974.some relatives had a 100 year lease on a cabin right on a stream just above st elmo.last time I was there,the cabin was gone.one of my trips to colorado,I was in the big Thompson canyon the day it flooded and 147 lost their lives.only lived because there were no vacancies,so we drove on- the flood happened that night.
Great is there fishing here.
I would have loved to watch things like this as a kid. Good job.
Looks like a place i could live in. Beautiful scenery.
Great video. I have visited St Elmo many times since the late 1960s having grown-up in the area and doing lots of 4-wheeling, hunting, hiking, climbing, and fishing. Just an awesome place to explore. The Alpine Tunnel was open at both ends in those days, but eventually landslides closed off the entrances. Still a beautiful area to visit as I still return to the area often. Learning some things, I did not know about its history which was fun to hear about. Thanks for posting this.
How about cripple Creek colorado. Isn't that a ghost town tourist trap still.

It's probably a typo on the part of whomever wrote that article.
