Eureka Miner's Cabin, Colorado

Our first trip out of Silverton, we went up the trail that leads to Cinnamon Pass. The views were pretty spectacular all along the way, and we stopped here to explore the ghost town of Eureka. Eureka was a silver mining town that ran from 1875 to 1942 when the post office closed for good.

 

The cabin in the picture made some people jealous because they had indoor toilet. The winters here are brutal getting up to 20 feet of snow at a time. An indoor toilet would've been a blessing during those storms. Waking up to this view every morning wouldn't be to bad either.
