History

The Ute Indians were attracted to the Wet Mountain Valley by the plentiful water and abundant game. In the mid 1500'S Spanish explorers entered the western edge of Custer County in search of gold, silver and the fountain of youth. Over three hundred years later Europeans finally found the precious metals they sought, however, we are still looking for the fountain of youth.
