Ophir Cemetery
Ophir, San Miguel County

Tombstone Photographs

To find Ophir Cemetery go South from the Telluride, Colorado intersection on Highway 145 for about 7 miles or so and turn east on the road to Ophir (signs posted).  Go about 2.8 miles to "East Ophir."  The road makes a Y, take the left branch, take the first left turn to the end of the road (about 2 blocks).  The cemetery is on the hillside mostly hidden in the trees.  A lot of graves do not have stones; only fences falling down around them.
