Downtown Guffey

Originally called Freshwater, in 1895 Guffey was a booming mining town with over 1,000 residents. It later became a ranching center after the gold dwindled. Up to 2600 years old, the oldest known living trees in the Rocky Mountains still grow in the Pike National Forest around Guffey. The Caldera Gallery, Guffey Garage, Guffey Jail, Guffey Museum and other 19th-Century structures are all within walking distance of six historic guest cabins in downtown Guffey.
