Happy Travel Tuesday! Today, we are going to show you around Creede, a small town nestled in the San Juan Mountain Range(part of the Rocky Mountains), in Southwestern Colorado.
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
As always, you can visit our YouTube channel HERE
Make sure to look for more of our Colorado later trip this week!

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 ..."
