As the ancestral hunting grounds of mountain people known as the Utes; the future site of Silverton was explored by nomadic hunters for generations. During the 1860s; Charles Baker; an early mining prospector; discovered some mineral wealth in the area and spread highly exaggerated rumors that brought in even more prospectors. Significant wealth was found in Arrastra Gulch along the Alpine Loop; north of Bakerrsquo;s Park. From the beginning of its mining heritage; Silverton has gone through periods of boom to bust. In the 1950s; the area was discovered by Hollywood; increasing its appeal to tourism; and in the 1960s; the Durango Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad reinvested heavily to dedicate itself to tourist travel. Although mining continued on a limited basis up until the 1990s; Silvertonrsquo;s economy is now supported by those who come for its history; picturesque landscapes; fly fishing; jeeping; and hiking.

And not even good clip art0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. simple and cuteBy tiffanyI love this coloring book because it is simple pictures for younger kids. My 2 year old enjoys coloring but does not care for coloring pages with a lot of detail. This book is perfect for children still learning to color or that are just too young for too many details in one picture.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. its stupidBy effectivefireblastyou cant even draw it all you can do is look at pictures my child hated itworst book ever
