Silverton has some of the most beautiful high mountain OHV routes in the US.
It’s tough to beat climbing high above the timber line on a road hanging off the side of a mountain, white knuckling it to the top to finally be rewarded with unsurpassed mountain views in all directions.
These are some of our favorite Silverton Colorado ATV Trails.
