Yankee boy basin is some of the prettiest scenery on earth. Ouray is deservingly called the Switzerland of the rockies. Prayers for those injured and the families of the dead.

Yankee Boy Basin has wonderful wild flowers, fall colors, high mountain peaks, 4x4 roads, and ...

The famous Camp Bird mine is named after the “Camp Birds”, probably Rocky Mountain jays, that ate many a miner’s lunch. David Lavender wrote about his experiences working at the Camp Bird Mine in the 1930s in his classic memoir One Man’s West.

so isolated, most who live in Colorado haven’t ever even been there.
As pretty as it gets right up next to Big Red Mountain
Prayers for all.

You got that right. Rode through there last March. Remembering all involved, including their families.
