Description
The high-elevation Mineral Creek corridor of San Juan National Forest near Silverton holds this roadside pullout alongside a fire ring with open views toward the surrounding peaks and creek drainages. The spot is genuinely scenic, but South Mineral Road carries heavy recreational traffic through summer — expect a near-constant stream of vehicles, significant dust, and activity well into the night. Best suited to campers who prioritize the alpine setting over solitude.
