Ward

Built around gold discoveries of the 1860s, Ward grew into the small, high-country town it is today in Colorado’s Front Range. At the western end of the Left Hand Canyon route from Boulder, it sits amid the forests and granite terrain of Roosevelt National Forest, close to the Indian Peaks wilderness country. State Highway 72, part of the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway, passes through town and links Ward to a classic Rocky Mountain road corridor. Its identity still reflects the mining camp established during the Colorado Gold Rush, while year-round life here is shaped by long winters and an isolated mountain setting.
