St. Elmo Ghost Town
Buena Vista, CO
Step back into the 1880s at one of Colorado's best-preserved ghost towns. Boasting over 40 intact wooden buildings, including a saloon and general store, it offers an incredibly eerie yet peaceful glance into the state's mining past. You can even buy sunflower seeds to feed the incredibly friendly resident chipmunks!
Cano's Castle
Antonito, CO
Built by Vietnam veteran Dominic "Cano" Espinoza, this towering folk-art castle is constructed from thousands of beer cans, hubcaps, and metal scraps. Created as a tribute to God for surviving the war, its gleaming aluminum spires create a mesmerizing, reflective spectacle in the Colorado sun.
Doc Holliday's Grave
Glenwood Springs, Colorado
Perched on a steep hill in historic Linwood Cemetery, this memorial marks the final resting place of the legendary Wild West dentist-turned-gunfighter. Visitors must hike a moderately steep half-mile trail to reach the grave, which is surrounded by a gated enclosure often adorned with coins, playing cards, and whiskey bottles left by admirers.
