Silver Reef was once a booming mine town, now its historical buildings are museums. There's also a large population of artists and artisans, and a local restaurant, The Cosmopolitan, has been part of the community since the time of the silver mine.
While we didn't stop by the museum (which was probably closed anyway because of the holiday), or poke around the displays of old mining equipment or ore carts, we did hop out of the car to look at the scenery.
If you can't read the sign, here's the text:
Site of the old Barbee and Walker Mill
All that remain are the rock walls
across the canyon. It began
operations in 1887. By 1908 it
ceased operations marking
the end of the old silver reef.
or stand near the edge of the canyon walls and look
Here's the view of another part of town.
You could ponder the wonders of the differing elevations and topography,
Or revert to childhood and just have a ball.
