Drive through the town of Silverton. At the town park make a left and stay left. When in doubt, go left. The base is approximately 6.65 miles up Hwy 110. Four-wheel drive and/or good driving skills are strongly recommended in inclement weather.
Located just one hour north of Durango, or one hour south of Montrose (the closest airports to fly into), 6.5 hours south of Denver, and 5.5 hours from Albuquerque, getting to Silverton is an incredibly beautiful drive. McClure Pass is fastest many times from Denver, but if it is snowing, stick to I-70 and exit in Clifton and follow signs to Delta/Montrose for the shortcut to 50/550 South.
Please respect our community by observing posted speed limits and adjusting your driving according to weather and road conditions.
