This is Chalk Creek Canyon home to St. Elmo Ghost town. This is believed by many to be the spot where a treasure has been hid worth over 2 million dollars by Forrest Fenn. Quite a few people including our team believe it has been found already in this Canyon.

This is the view from "The Home of Brown" Mr. Brown was very wealthy and the head of the Mary Murphy Silver Mine in St. Elmo.
Chalk creek full of trout can be seen here also which is a prime spot for fly fishing.

Probably not the smartest idea sneaking up this close to a Moose, but I got the picture and am alive so HEY!!! haha

This canyon is running wild with animals from moose to bear to chipmunks that you can feed out of your hand.

This is Alpine Lake at an elevation of 10,000 ft above sea level. Bring some extra Oxygen you Low Landers... I'm talking from experience.

If you come here you may not find the 2 million dollar treasure, but you will experience one of the most beautiful canyons in North America and that is Treasure in itself. Then again you possibly could find both...
