[Highway 40 beside Parshall. Photo: Jeffrey Beall] Parshall is a tiny town tucked between Hot Sulphur Springs and Kremmling on US Highway 40. If making the drive past Parshall, you’re probably coming to or from Steamboat Springs.
The small village consists of an array of homes, a church, a post office and evidence of a fire in part of the town. There’s one bar/restaurant, known as The Parshall Inn, which is usually open every day. Stop by for a pint and a burger on your way past town.
The Henderson Mill provides most of the jobs in town. It produces molybdenum, an ore from the Henderson Mine, located south in Clear Creek County. Cattle ranching is also big south of town.
