Shavano
Shavano was a town founded in 1879 on Monarch Mountain. It was initially called Clifton and was a silver mining town that produced enough silver ore to sustain a three-story mill. The town was later renamed after Shavano, who was the second in command to Chief Ouray. However, after just over three years, the town collapsed, and its log cabins and stores were abandoned, with only a few structures remaining today.
