About Red Mountain Town
Tucked into Ouray County, Colorado, Red Mountain Town is a ghost town with roots in the mining era. It sits along the celebrated Million Dollar Highway corridor, south of Ouray, making it accessible to road travelers passing through the area.
Visitors today will find the remnants of a once-active mining community set against the dramatic Colorado landscape. The site is best appreciated as a roadside historical stop rather than a destination requiring extensive planning.
