Saints John was a small mining community west of Montezuma on the side of a mountain. You ski on an old road to the remains of this ghost town; this route is considered beginner to intermediate level. There was one old house several years ago that had someone living there during the winter. How to get there: Take your choice of highways to the Keystone Ski Area east of Dillon. Enter the eastern access road to the ski area. Within a few hundred feet turn left, away from the ski area, this is the road to Montezuma, FSR5. Montezuma was once a mining camp but has declined over the years. Montezuma is about a 5-mile drive from the Keystone intersection. Drive into Montezuma about halfway through town you can see a road working its way up the hill just to the southwest. Park your vehicles here on the main street of town, noted on the map as (P)2 Saints John is 1.5 miles from Montezuma. There are a few minor roads exiting from the Saints John Road, but it is pretty obvious which is the main road. You’ll know when you are at Saints John; there are remains of homes, mining buildings, and some old vehicles. You can ski 1.5 miles further south to the Wild Irishman Mine if you want more adventure.
