Embark on an exhilarating journey with Adventure Glide as he navigates the scenic routes on his BMW GSA to the captivating semi-ghost town of Tincup, Colorado. Nestled in Gunnison County at an elevation of 10,157 feet, Tincup offers a unique glimpse into the past with its historic buildings and fascinating heritage.
Originally known as Virginia City, this former mining town witnessed its heyday in 1879 when lode deposits were discovered. However, with two other towns sharing the same name, the community rebranded itself as Tin Cup in 1882. The moniker was inspired by the local valley, "Tin Cup Gulch," where prospector Jim Taylor unearthed gold in 1859 and famously carried it back in a tin cup.
Today, Tincup stands as a semi-ghost town with only a handful of year-round locals and seasonal residents. The town's lone business, the Tin Cup Store, caters to the summer recreational crowd, providing essential supplies for camping, fishing, and more. Explore the well-preserved historic buildings, each with its own story to tell, and witness a bygone era frozen in time.
As Adventure Glide navigates the winding roads and unveils the rich history of Tincup, join him on this captivating ride through the remnants of the Old West. Discover the tales of gunfights and the challenges faced by early settlers, all against the stunning backdrop of Colorado's breathtaking landscapes. Immerse yourself in the allure of Tincup, a town where history whispers through the mountain winds.
