Bakerville, Colorado

Bakerville is a mining ghost town in Clear Creek County, Colorado, United States.

It is located west of modern-day Silver Plume, south of I-70 near the fourteener peaks of Grays and Torreys.

The settlement was founded by three men: John Baker, William F. Kelso, and Dick Irwin, in 1865 to support their mine.

[4] In 2010, Clear Creek County opened a portion of paved trail connecting Bakerville with the Loveland Ski Area.

This trail addition was part of a larger project of bike and pedestrian trails ranging from where U.S. Route 6 enters eastern Clear Creek County from Jefferson County to the Bakerville portion that merges with the Continental Divide Trail and leads into Summit County.
