Link: More Information
Gothic is a little far from the Denver Area, but if you are in the Gunnison area take a look, it is in a beautiful location. Gold was found in 1879 and the Gothic population grew to 8000, but by 1884 most of the gold and silver was gone and Gothic began to shut down. Today the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab is located at Gothic and a few folks still live here, especially during the summer, so it\\\'s not totally a ghost town. This area is popular with mountain bikers during the summer. How to get there: Drive to Gunnison over Monarch Pass on US 50. In Gunnison take CO135 north to Crested Butte. Drive north through Crested Butte, and continue on CO135 to Gothic. You can drive further north, all the way to Schofield Pass, on FSR317, but don’t try to go over the pass without 4-wheel drive. Two campgrounds, Gothic and Avery Peaks, are north of Gothic on FSR317.
