Summer and fall reveal alpine meadows, world-class mountain biking trails, and a vibrant arts scene without the frenzied energy of peak season. This former silver mining town has reinvented itself as a year-round destination where locals reclaim their streets and visitors discover the authentic character beneath the resort veneer.
