MINTURN
The gateway to the Holy Cross Wilderness area, Minturn was on the map in 1887 with the arrival of the Rio Grande Railroad. An eclectic community filled with specialty shops, culinary delights, historic walking tours and a quaint bed and breakfast, it offers quiet respite from nearby Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts. Once a destination for miners seeking their fortunes in the nearby Gilman Mine, Minturn is one of two original and historic towns in the area. It is now a mecca for those seeking the ultimate outdoor adventure in the Holy Cross Wilderness area.
Summer offers the Minturn Market-with over 110 booths and two entertainment tents running simultaneously. It is literally the biggest, best farmers’ market this side of the Continental Divide! Enjoy magnificent vistas and incredible shows of wildflowers while on foot or bicycle. The Eagle River runs through town and provides outstanding kayaking and rafting. The National Scenic Byway passes right through Minturn. The Forest Service Headquarters for Holy Cross area is located here.
