Planning to see all ghost towns in CO this summer. Started off with St Elmo’s. It was a nice and well preserved town

Did you feed the chipmunks and see the humming birds?
I love that place. What kind of vehicle were you running? The pass over to Tin Cup is a bit rough and you need a bit of ground clearance.

I hauled my teardrop up to the top of Hancock last fall and spent the night at 12,000 ft. Mt. Antero is a beautiful drive and can be done in most stock SUV's.

I saw a lot of humming birds, no chipmunks
I have a 2017 Jeep trail hawk with rock mode etc. I could have done it but have zero experience so didn’t try
Is antero through the same tin cup pass or a different route?

It is a completely different route. The views from there are much better. I followed a stock Chevy Suburban up at one time so it's not that hard. But if you're afraid of heights and narrow roads you might want to think twice.
