-----------
In 1890 the Upper Rio Grande Valley's fortunes changed dramatically when Nicholas Creede discovered a high-grade silver vein in Willow Creek above the present-day town of Creede. Creede was the last silver boom town in Colorado in the 19th century. Mining camps that eventually consolidated at the mouth of Willow Creek Canyon to form the town of Creede quickly swelled to over 10,000 in an area of only 0.6 square miles, to provide labor for the Amethyst, Holy Moses, Commodore, Last Chance and Kentucky Belle mines, among others. By 1892 over a million dollars in silver had been shipped from the mines.
Creede today depends on tourism for its survival, but this is still unspoiled Colorado, largely overlooked by most tourists. There are only 850 residents remaining in all of Mineral County today, roughly 300 of whom live in Creede, and the streets essentially shut down once the sun dips behind the Rocky Mountains. There's one small food market here, and one gas station. Creede is still, in a word, quaint.
Join us as we explore Creede and its history, its mines, and its dispersed RV camping or "boondocking." We'll even travel underground into the Last Chance Mine and participate in the burro races of the Creede Donkey Dash!

I bet you would love boondocking up the Wood River (although there are two USFS campgrounds up there) southwest of the little town of Meeteetse, Wyoming! There is an amazing ghost town up there called Kirwin! Kirwin is well-preserved as a result of a cooperative effort between some locals and the USFS. Amazing fact: Amelia Earhart loved Kirwin! She commissioned the construction of a home there, which was not yet completed when she left to circumnavigate the globe and she disappeared. In Meeteetse, there is a chocolate store for a rodeo cowboy who doubles as a chocolatier in his offseason. The drive from Meeteetse to Kirwin is spectacular! If you head to northern Wyoming I recommend it!
Love the whole video, but the burro racing put it over the top. I loved seeing all the happy people with their pet burros!
It was a very unique and fun event to attend, Blade Runner! Creede remains one of our favorite stops in 2021.
My dad and I spent five days camping there fly fishing the Rio grand I loved it. Can't wait to go back
We hear the fishing's terrific. Creede remains one of our favorite stops so far this season. Thanks so much for watching!
I agree that this is one of the best places. Thanks.
Thanks Carl!
Marc, thank you for taking us on another fantastic journey. What a spectacular place Creede CO is
Our pleasure Gary! It certainly is.
Donkeys made a fun adventure.
They sure did, Cecilia. Thanks for watching!
Creed IS a (hopefully still) hidden gem!
It thankfully is, Dave.
Marc, really enjoyed this Adventure. It is such a beautiful area. Great that you were able to help them with the videoing of the event.
Thanks Larry, glad you enjoyed it!
If you feel a need for Mexican Food, Ramon’s in South Fork is really good!
Great tip for next time for us, Don! And the way we loved Creede there will definitely be a next time.
Creede was beautiful and looked like so much fun at the Donkey Dash!
We absolutely fell in love with the area, Chris.
You should check out Silver Plume, Colorado! Thanks for the content!!!
So many places, so little time. It's been years but I recall Silver Plume rather well, right there alongside I-70 near Georgetown. However, I believe that with the deeper summer now approaching we're going to continue to work our way north through and beyond Colorado. Thanks Maurice!
@@GrandAdventure No problem. Thanks for getting back!
Colorado is going to be one of our first stops once we start traveling and after this video Creede is going to be one of our must see areas. Keep up the great work!
That's great to hear, thanks Chris!
Great video of Creede. My parents have had a vacation home in South Fork since the early 70's and Creede was always a part of our vacation. Can't wait to take my 5th wheel up there and boondock. Thanks for all the information. Love your channel.
Very cool, Carla. We're sure that it was a very different place back then. Thanks so much!
Watched on lunch
Enjoyed
Glad you enjoyed Rex! Good to hear from you, too.
Such a beautiful spot!!
It really was, Lori! Thank you.
Looks like a good place to add to my list..
It most certain is, Mike.
Marc what a great video. I'm heading to Ceede this week and will check out the sites you mention. Another thumbs up on you videos. Thanks man.
Thank YOU Todd! It's a wonderful area, one of our favorites from this season thus far. Here's wishing you a terrific trip!
Regrets...binge watching the last season of Boardwalk Empire tonight but this one gives me something to enjoy with my Thursday morning coffee.
We welcome your viewership anytime and anywhere, John.
Beautiful spot!
Yes it was Alan! Thanks for watching.
Another great video, Marc! Glad you got to see & video tape the Donkey Dash!
Thanks James! So were we. Sometimes we just end up in the right place at the right time.
Most awesome post ever!
Glad you think so!
another great video my friend
Thanks bud!
Just started watching your videos and I'm going to watch all that I can, great videos so far. I'm in Denver and always enjoy all parts of Colorado!!
We're thrilled to have you along, Rand! We'll have a few more Colorado episodes before our travels take us to the next state.
Marc thanks for the beautiful scenery footage and the great boondocking location.
Thank YOU Don!
Really enjoying the video.
Thank you Brenda! Great seeing you at the Premiere.
A lot of familiar sites and great memories for me in this video. And the donkey races were a hoot. Immensely enjoyable Marc! 👍#2
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you as always John!
Marc, the water fall was breathtaking! Looks like The Dyrt Pro does it again to find you an amazing camp spot. The Donkey Dash was a great touch.
Thank you Marv! Really glad that you enjoyed this one. We definitely enjoyed bringing it to you.
Marc, another FANTASTIC VIDEO!! This one was special!!!
Wow, thanks Gary! Appreciate that.
Interesting video, Creede looked like a neat little town, the old mining area and buildings were really neat looking, and the burro racing was funny, great video, bet you can see a million stars in the sky at night, can you do time lapse or pictures of the night sky, would really like to see that. Travel safe.
The stars were amazing, Gary. Alas we're already several weeks out of the area. Interesting thought about a star-lapse. We haven't done one of those in quite some time, perhaps it's time to do another one the next time we're in a true dark sky area.
Get your assess ready... Great adventure and episode, Marc. These are exactly the kinds of old Colorado mining towns I was referring to earlier.
The views from your camping spot were tremendous as well. You added credence to Creede.
What a great mine and tour they offer as well. I was wondering how that old ore processing plant, perched on the steep side of that mountain looked so sturdy after all these years.
Then you showed a closeup of the building and those timbers were huge. You can't get anything like that today. With those massive timbers, that structure will be standing for a long time to come.
Gord
It was really impressive, Gord. Visually stunning. We absolutely fell in love with the town of Creede and the entire area.
@@GrandAdventure No doubt you'll be back again!:). Thanks for opening new vistas for your viewers.
Gord
Wow! Great vid! I used to live in Summit County, CO. Was a Pro Ski Patrol and Firefighter there. Had to leave the state for a while but miss it and plan to come back some day. The spot you camped at, is it possible to drive a 32’ Class A MH to it! Would love to enjoy the beautiful spot one of these days. Keep up the great work and content! Sub earned! 👍🏼😎🇺🇸
Thank you, we're thrilled to have you along. Former weekend volunteer patroller here. The road to get to that spot is a little tight in one point, but not saying it's not doable.
Marc, I just love your videos. So well done. I stayed up at Crested Butte a few years ago and I loved that area. Hiking was incredible. I will head out that way again soon and put Creede on my list.
You definitely should, RedBarron. Along with Silverton, CB and Creede are now two of our three favorite places in the entire state. Mixing Crested Butte and Creede would make for a wonderful trip.
We’ll be there in September. Hoping to fish the Rio Grande in that area. In 2018 the Rio Grande reservoir was being drained for repairs and the Rio Grande was blown out with silt.
Fingers crossed for good fishing for you. We drove up to the Rio Grande Reservoir during our visit last week and while it's been refilled, the water level is *very* low in that reservoir right now, probably secondary to the two-year drought that has persisted since they refilled it. However, the river is running clear.
Great video & a what a fascinating little town. The mine ruins looked incredible. We love your country and have visited a few times over the last few decades but it is unlikely we'll ever be able to make another trip. However, we can live vicariously through your highly enjoyable videos. Many thanks for sharing. 👍
Thank you!! We're very happy that we can still bring you along through our lenses.
Absolutely excellent. You seemed to really capture the spirit in this one. Amazing.
Thanks bud! And thank you for your generosity at the Premiere as well. We really got our creativity behind this one, mostly because we loved the area so much. You can always tell when that happens.
I agree!!
Marc, i dont know if you noticed or if this is intentional but every time you make a video about colorado, your tone of voice changes and you speak about subject matter with such love, as if colorado is your “spot”.
Haha! It all depends on which side of the bed I got out of that morning. 😁 Creede definitely flipped our switches. To be honest Utah has my heart, but I do have a connection to Colorado in that part of my childhood was spent living in Boulder.
Can't wait! 👍😏🌲👌🇨🇦
What a great campsite. Its amazing how much hard work their is just digging out a mine. Great job. Thanks Don
Thank YOU as always Don! What's amazing is that the Last Chance Mine has 30-40 miles of tunnel in that 10-acre mountain, yet by hand they could only dig three feet of tunnel per day.
Marc. Beautiful photography as usual! We go through Creede often on the way to Lake City. Love the area especially lunch at the Creede Hotel. I hope you get to Lake City up Slumgullion Pass. Pretty steep especially going down but great views of Uncompahgre Peak. Great climb and awesome views of the San Juan’s!
Thank you Duke! We've been through Lake City before, a few years ago when we crossed over from Silverton via Engineer Pass. We thought about going there this year, but we are going to save that for a subsequent season.
Another great video! Showed all my favorites including the fork.
Thank you so much!
Hey Bud is great to see you videos I know is been a little while since I say hello but Wowo I remember when you and I started we only had a couple of 💯 subscribers look at you now that is awesome I’m glad.
Me I took a different turn I’m well establish here in Florida for now but will still Rv from time to time.. good luck safe travels
It's definitely been a while, bud! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching, and enjoy the Sunshine State.
Awesome video Marc. Loved the burro race.
Thanks so much ACT2!
Wife and I are headed that way tomorrow, from SW Texas. We will actually be in South Fork, but we will make the trip to Creede. Will be our second time in that area, but first time taking our new TT.
Thanks for the videos.
Very cool Lorenzo! Safe travels, and enjoy the area.
Great video. Loved the history and the scenery. Well done!
Thank you so very much, we appreciate that.
Wow. We are staying in Creede just prior to Pagosa Springs next week! Nice. Thanks for the video
Excellent, Kent! Safe travels, and we hope this video provide both some inspiration and some ideas for your visit.
Marc, what a cool and beautiful place. You made me what to go for a visit. Good job. Safe travels. Don
Thanks as always Don, and safe travels to you as well!
Looks like a great place. I have a feeling I’m really going to love my exhaust brake when I get out west!
And I really miss not having one, Barratt. On just about any descent I flip my transmission lever to the left to access the gear limiter, and work my way through the gears as appropriate, but it would be nice to have more compression power to limit those downhill grades. And more weight to the truck, too.
I really love your videos,someday I would love to visit these out of the way places. Keep up the great job. Safe travels.
Thank you Rick, and same right back at ya!
Your videos are way beyond excellent!
Wow, thank you Michael!
I can’t wait to go back to Colorado. I’ll definitely check out Creede, thank you for the great video!
You bet, Blake. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Wow what amazing scenery out there, just beautiful ...
Thank you so much, Dwayne!
Enjoying you videos.. what a great spot in Creede. Amazing
Thank you Gino!
That area is awesome. I see another destination added to our list. Great video!!!
Thank you Jan! Creede most certainly deserves a spot on that list.
Marc, Another winner as usual! Another of my favorite places in Colorado. Watch out for ol' Alferd Packer.....upon Cannibal Plateau
Thank you Thom! I will have to look up that reference, however.
@@GrandAdventure I drew that from C W McCall's "Comin' Back For More" about Alferd Packer. The real event happened just up the road above Lake City. Enjoy! Safe travels!
Awesome Awesome video!
Wow, thank you Johnny!
Great Job again. Gunna get there, too this summer.
Thank you! We guarantee you'll love it.
That looks like a great place! When we get our trailer next year. Thank you for sharing.😃💕
Definitely add Creede to your list! Thank you very much for watching.
I’m new to your channel and I love it!!
And we love having you here Peggy! Thanks for coming along.
I'm gonna have to make a trip to Colorado. My van build should be finished a couple months, so might go there before weather turns to cold. Love the drone footage as always.
Thank you as always Mike! Here's hoping that the timing works out for you.
@@GrandAdventure Hope to see you in Quartzite this winter. Stay safe.
Cool!
Thank you Susan!
Hi, been watching your channel for awhile and this is one of my favorite videos. I live in the Rio Grande Valley...Texas that is. Was very interesting to see where the river starts. I've added Creede to our list of places to visit. Thank you! Quick question; I noticed a Rhino portable waste tank on the back of your RV. My husband and I have been looking at those. Some of the wheel reviews aren't very good. What are your thoughts?
Thanks for your feedback, Melissa! We actually just bought that tote tank a few weeks ago, so we really haven't put it through its paces yet. We've heard similar complaints about the wheels; however, there are numerous "quick fix" videos on TH-cam about how to re-engineer the wheels for durability.
Seems like all your latest videos are places we've been recently or are heading to. We love Creede and will be there soon! Nice video!
That's terrific! Hopefully this will not only give you a preview, but help with ideas for once you're there.
@@GrandAdventure We've been there twice already including scouting your boondocking spot last year.. However, yes, you've included some things that I wasnt aware of and am excited in checking out. Thanks!
Had to watch your video again. I'm loving the area that you camped in. I will get the Dyrt when I start traveling, it looks like it's an amazing tool! The road to the Last Chance Mine, is it tame enough for a non 4x4 vehicle like my Sprinter? I'd love to go there. Very well done video Marc! I loved seeing the donkeys. 😁
Thank you Suzane! The west half of the Bachelor Loop is definitely negotiable via 2WD and allows access to the Last Chance Mine. The east half past Commodore Mine is a ridiculously steep dirt road (one of the steepest I've encountered) and thus they strongly recommend 4WD for that side.
@@GrandAdventure Thank you Marc. I'll take note of that, and stay on the safe road. Must have been frightening on the steep section! 😲
@@gina50gina nah, not that bad but 4WD definitely provides the necessary traction.
Wow your channel is epic! Just found it. New sub here! 👍
Thank you Matty! We're thrilled to have you on board.
That was great video with a nice variety.
When you used the Dyrt in locating your camping spot, did you also use a National Forest MVUM to get specifics with the Forest roads or did you just call the ranger? What a great spot!!
The Bachelor Loop looked like an awesome drive and the tour of the Last Chance Mine looked impressive!
Now that we also have a 4x4 Tundra, we won’t feel so afraid about taking some of these roads in your videos.
Good timing with the Donkey Race. What a bonus for the video.
Creede looked like a great place to visit.
Thanks for sharing!
Ram
👍🏼👍🏽
Thanks, Ram! Creede was a wonderful place. We both fell in love with it instantly. When using The Dyrt, we used it in conjunction with the MVUM to determine which roads were legal.
Awesome video and great boondocking spot. Are you ever concerned about safety when boondocking? Do you leave your camper unattended during the day?
Thanks Carl! Yep, we do all the time and never have any concern. In fact, we did a short video a few years ago on that very topic: th-cam.com/video/ot7KeQPruHU/w-d-xo.html
Sure would like to hear more about how the Tundra has handled things. I have a 2020 Tundra with 5.7l and 4.30 rear end. I've been curious how large of trailer it could handle. Our 26ft travel trailer on flat roads here in Texas is not much for it, but I don't have experience in the mountains. Any info or video on your experience is appreciated.
Alan, we are going to do a status episode coming up that's going to address that very subject. Thank you very much for the suggestion!
Mark
My wife and I love your TH-cam videos and watch them daily. After viewing them we’re considering to start boondocking. You do a lot of that, so I have to ask - do you run your RV air conditioner while boondocking? If so, is solar adequate or do you need to run it off your generator?we have a 2020 Grand Design Reflection 150 Series 295RL with one AC. Again, love the videos. Keep up the great work.
Thank you William! If we need to run the AC while boondocking we will start up the generator. If we are going to have a protracted period of stifling hot weather that's when we will go to cooler temps at higher elevation if possible, and if not retreat to a hookups, like what we are doing right now preparing for this coming week's heat wave in eastern Montana. I will caution you, once you start boondocking you will never look at an RV park the same way again! 😄
I have the dyrt pro and I could not find forest road 508 or any forest service road on the map west of Creede. I found a few campsites but nothing for boon docking.
You won't find FR-508 on The Dyrt PRO, Butch, nor will you even find it on Google Maps. The only place we found it was in satellite imagery and on the USFS MVUM. We used The Dyrt PRO to first find areas of public land, and their boundaries from private land. We then used the MVUM to identify roads and those upon which it's legal to camp. Finally we examined those in satellite view on The Dyrt PRO. There's not just FR-508, there are a lot of prime boondocking sites on other Forest Roads even closer to Creede, too.
Glad to hear the 1/2 ton Tundra is still getting the job done. What are you running for tires on it and what load range?
So are we! 😄 They're E-range Nittos. I was previously running Mickey Thompsons on there, but couldn't suck it up to pay 2x as much as the Nittos this time.
Dont give away my secret boondocking sites, hehe. You need to check out nearby Lake City.
We passed through Lake City once back in 2018 after driving over Engineer Pass from our camp in Silverton. We thought about heading that way this trip, but decided to save Lake City for a future visit.
Great job. Are still using you Visable phone for WiFi.
Good evening Marc! What a great video! Thank you for sharing your experiences in Creede CO!! Like for you, this was a HIGHLY anticipated video from you!
And as said before, thank you very much for sharing a part of yours and Patricia's afternoon with us!! You showed that it is with reason that I highly regret only coming there for the day. There is so much to see in the greater region.
Safe travels!!
QUESTION: That camping within 300 feet of the centerline of the road: was that based on 300 feet from FR 508? Or, would it be 300feet from the trail that you were right next to?
Hey Alan! We really enjoyed getting to know you and Heather a little bit better that day, thanks for joining us.
I think that the answer to your question is a grey one. We might have been at or maybe slightly over 300' from the centerline of FR-508, which is probably the proper way to measure it because that little spur trail isn't mapped on the MVUM. But I don't think that it's clear that 300' from the centerline of that double-track road is incorrect, either. However, that was the only truly flat spot there and that double-track road was clearly heavily used.
@@GrandAdventure Hi Marc....thank you for the prompt response!
Ok...that makes sense to try to stick to measuring off of a mapped FS road. Thank you! I agree........making an attempt to meet the intent is always good. But, common sense should prevail with regards to being in a workable spot also. Plus, if one is still on a previously used area, I'd think that could/should be considered by the visiting ranger.
You know where my property is. The guy that is trying to set up petroglyph tours there was told by the governing office that it is highly unlikely that he'd ever see a ranger in that area due to manpower limitations.
PS. The godzilla made the trip well! 15-16mpg held, even including coming over the continental divide. I stayed in Colorado Springs last night and was able to time my departure from there to get to that Hwy 50 canyon closure 1 hour time slot about 20 minutes before it opened. It appears that DOT is recommending that you arrive before the 1 hour opens as they can only let so many vehicles pass through the canyon, 1 direction at a time. Or...just pass through it on the weekend as both directions are open all weekends.
Have a good one!
@@campingalan glad to hear that the new truck is working out well! That US-50 situation west of Blue Mesa sounds like a mess, but it also sounds like you timed it well.
Excellent video as always. Could you tell me about your drone? That thing does a great job!!!
Thanks Milt! We actually have two drones at the moment. This episode was filmed with our first-generation DJI Mavic Pro. The third generation of that drone is due to be released by DJI later this month. We also have a DJI Mini 2. Just as an FYI everything we use in creating GA is in its own "Photography & Videography" section of our Amazon shop: www.amazon.com/shop/GrandAdventure
Everything we list there is something that we use and like ourselves. If we don't use it or don't like using it, it's not included in our shop.
@@GrandAdventure Thanks for the info. The photography is excellent, I play you on my 65" big screen and love it.

Thank you as always Khatoon! And as usual, you're right on target about Creede. Great to hear from you again.
Great campsite. Does the Dyrt Pro take you right to the spot via roads? I noticed that google maps won't take you to your site via roads which obviously won't work.
Thanks Michael! The Dyrt PRO's trip routing uses mapping databases that are licensed by The Dyrt. Just like any other mapping database, it's usually accurate but has the occasional error -- nothing is foolproof. One good thing about The Dyrt PRO's trip routing, however, is that it takes into account the height and length of your rig.
Hi Mark! My wife and I will be sending some time in this area this summer. We’ve been rewatching some of your videos from a few years ago. Can’t seem to find FR 508. Do you have the coordinates to the junction with 149? Thanks Mark
You're going to love it there, Tim. Creede is just about our favorite Colorado destination. We put a Google Maps pin to our precise campsite right in each video's description, and here's the one for this video: goo.gl/maps/94TM8vReLHmhg4zU6
If you click on that link, you'll see that the Forest Road we're camped on is visible on satellite view, but isn't actually shown on map view. But on satellite view you can follow that back to FR-508A, which is a turn right off Miners Creek Road
@@GrandAdventure thank you Mark!!! Appreciate the help and the weekly videos!!
@@timweimar8768 our pleasure.
Hilarious! G
Really wanted to try the Dyrt but their system is not responding to my input, with the codework, it still just want to give me 7 days. Has this promo ended?
No it hasn't ended Philip, the code should still be valid. grandadventure90 is the code, not case sensitive. Here's a direct link that passes forward the code: thedyrt.com/promo/grandadventure90
How are you doing master Marc actually history of USA is very amazing geography civilization i think it’s little difficult for pupils no way iam gathering main points about places you visited here it’s creede is statutory town that county seat of mineral county in Colorado incorporated 1892 appeared in 19 th century Tom Boggs brother in law f kit Carson farmed at wagon wheel gap in 1840 first sliver discovery was made at alpha mine in 1896 linking mining operations over divide with East were built in 1870 s great boom day discovery of rich mineral in willow creek canyon in 1889 also known as world largest fork is 40 foot aluminum attractions in creede built in 2012
dont see forest road 598 near creede. Can you help? which way from town? GPS coordinates? thanks!
Kirby, there's a Google Maps pin right in the video description for you.
I clicked on your link, but it just gives a flag. what are the roads you took to get there. did you come off 149
Yes, 149 to Miners Gulch Rd. Head West and South at Sawmill Gulch.
Rio Grande. Gran-de. Not grand.
Try to balance your sound! Kill the background music which is two and a half times as loud as your voice. It makes it really hard to listen to you talk and then have you blast us with music.
Feedback noted and appreciated, thank you.
Did anyone win the poop drop?
Someone did, but we were off having lunch waiting for the racers when the winner was announced.
Thanks for asking that. I was wondering the same.
