In this episode of Kinda Weird Colorado, we’re heading east of Denver to the quiet town of Deer Trail—home to more than just farmland and open skies. Beneath the rolling plains lie the remnants of Cold War-era missile silos, once part of America’s nuclear defense strategy. We’ll dive into the history of these hidden bunkers, their original purpose, and the eerie stories that have emerged from urban explorers who dared to venture inside. Don't forget your flashlight!
