about 9 miles south of Westcliffe, Colorado off of State Road 69 on

Airport (Custer County's airport) and Silver West Estates (Custer
County's 'fly-in' community). After turning onto County Road 310,
proceed east less than one mile and you will see us on the right.

careful!
You may be wondering
what in the world does 'UQ' signify? 'UQ' is derived from the word
"UnQuestionable". And this word is present in a favorite passage written
by American essayist and poet, Henry David Thoreau. "I know of no more
encouraging fact, than the UnQuestionable ability of man to advance his
life through conscious endeavor." Throreau died in 1862 while the Civil
War raged, and America had only 34 states. Westcliffe's first pioneers
arrived soon after. Colorado was to become our 38th state in 1876! It is
a mystery how such a consummate easterner as Thoreau who "went to the
woods to live deliberately" could seemingly sum up the code of the West
with these words.
UQ and the word UnQuestionable are used to mean a positive affirmation,
a sign of the indomitable American spirit. Lewis and Clark had the UQ
spirit 200 years ago when they led the Corps of Discovery with their
'courage undaunted', and unrelenting focus on their conscious endeavor.
In 1994, 60,000 cubic yards of earth were moved in preparation for
paving a then 5,000 ft. runway. The spirit of UQ is alive and well today
at Silver West!
