Of all the mining towns in Colorado, among of the best preserved is St. Elmo (front cover). One can walk past its row of abandoned buildings and ponder what it must have been like during its glory days. St. Elmo forms a scenic foreground for the dense forests and high mountains in Chalk Creek Canyon. Its history is closely coupled to the Stark family who settled in St. Elmo more than a century ago. The Starks became the town’s most prominent family and eventually operated the Home Comfort Hotel and the Stark Store, both of which remain standing today. Learn more about St. Elmo and many other ghost towns in Volume Two of Ghost Towns, Colorado Style.

The second volume of Ghost Towns, Colorado Style is filled with over 230 historic and contemporary photos from the central region of the Colorado Rockies.
