The inspiration for the Tin Cup name comes from a Colorado ghost town named (surprise)Tin Cup.
Tin Cup lies three miles due west of the continental divide in a high mountain valley called Taylor Park.
In October 1859 prospector Jim Taylor panned some gold from Willow Creek,
and carried it back to camp in a tin cup; he named the valley “Tin Cup Gulch.”
The town has become a mecca for outdoor recreation.
In 2006 and 2010 the MTF Rough Road Riders passed through several times as they rode over various mountain passes in the area.
Tin Cup has a good resturant (Frenchy's) and a general store, complete with actual tin cups for sale.
More information about Tin Cup can be found here.
