When I say nestled, I mean it is actually in between two big mountains.
Do you know what one of the coolest things I saw was?
The fire station was actually IN the mountain!
Creede was originally a silver mining town back in the
mid 1800's. After the silver boom ended, Creede continued to mine Zinc
and lead.
Now, it doesn't do much mining but is mostly a cute tourist town for people to visit.
I asked a local for a recommendation for the best place to eat lunch...
A short walk and a few photo shoots later....
We found the The Best Little DogHouse in Creede!
I liked it because there were a ton of good smells...
The pawrents liked it because there food was yummy!
It's amazing what a good recommendation can do, right??
I had a great time in the town of Creede and can't wait to visit again!
Here is a short video of our Creede visit

Finding small towns which are thriving is a delight. Thank you for sharing this, it made my morning.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to find out where the locals dine!
ReplyDeleteWe have never heard of Creede, CO. What a great photo showing us how the town is between the two mountains. Glad that dog gave you the heads up on the best place to eat - did you get a taste of one of those wieners???

ReplyDeleteLulu: "Ooh, a fire house right inside the mountain? I would love to live inside a mountain. The thunder and base booms could never get me in there."
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "We have an old silver mining town near us! It's called Julian and you can take a tour of the old mines. Dennis and the other dogs went there a few times, and of course that time he got kidnapped by Flat Stanley, he ended up there and almost got eaten by a grue."
Charlee: "Did he actually get kidnapped though? I think he was more of an accessory than a victim ..."
