Turret is located northeast of Salida. Turret was a gold mining camp established in 1897 that lasted until the 1940s when the post office closed. How to get there: Take US 285 from Denver, seven miles north of Poncha Springs, turn left on CO291. A short distance northwest of Salida, turn right on CR175 and follow it northeast into the mountains for 8 miles. Turn left on CR184 to what remains of Turret. Keep to the left at all main intersections. Turret is 12 miles from the CO291 intersection. Forest Service campgrounds can be found west of Poncha Springs, along US 50, towards Monarch Pass.
