The Rico Silverton Trailhead is located two and one-half miles beyond South Mineral Campground near Silverton Colorado at an elevation of 10,680'. The hike is highly rewarding in beauty with waterfalls, expansive wildflowers in the summer months and the scenery of the nearby peaks including Rolling Pass(13,693') and Twin Sisters (13,432' and 13,374') The Moxies including Jane Marie, Bella, MaryAnne, Barbara, Marianne "Spence", Mary P, Michelle and Julie headed up to Rolling Pass and the unnamed Peak above the pass. On route to the trailhead, we stopped at the gas station in Silverton and some of the Moxies bought new colorful neck scarfs that matched their hiking attire and sported them during the hike. It was a sunny, beautiful day that was much appreciated after all the cloudy and rainy days of the past week.
