The Argentine Central, abandoned in 1918, ran from Silver Plume to the summit of Mount McClellan, 13,587 feet. While certainly a mining road, it also was a tourist attraction and passengers on the C&S often enjoyed this high altitude thrill shortly after traversing the world-renowned Georgetown Loop. In this video, a 4x4 Jeep drives the old Argentine Central grade to the summit.
