Deep snow not only made the hike to this abandoned townsite west of Jamestown, Colorado extremely difficult, but also far more interesting than it would have been in the summer. #colorado #history #photography #ruins

After hours of walking on a ridge above the Strontia Springs Reservoir west of Denver, Colorado, I decided to descend and walk on the shoreline, but it turned out that at the one point where the water was accessible from above, there was no shoreline. #colorado #scenery #photography

Apparently, Kali could tell from the smell that this powder house near Black Hawk, Colorado was no different than any other she had ever seen, because none of her footprints were anywhere near it. #kali #kuvasz #dogs #colorado #ruins #history #photography

A surprising number of ditches were built in the mountains of Colorado a hundred or more years ago, and some are still in use, but the ones that needed a flume to bypass rough terrain seem to have been abandoned long ago, like this one near Frisco, Colorado. #colorado #ruins #history #photography

Looking north, towards the headwaters of the Colorado River, near the abandoned townsite of Lulu City, Colorado. #colorado #scenery #photography

Even though I had no idea what this table was when I found it next to a cabin in the mountains west of Como, Colorado, for some reason I wasn't interested enough to take more than one photo, but it looks like others I've seen in sawmills. #colorado #history #photography #ruins

A row of thirteen thousand foot peaks dominates the view from the broken remains of an abandoned mine structure, south of Montezuma, Colorado. #colorado #scenery #photography #ruins #history

These bighorn sheep are part of a herd that likes to hang around next to the highway near Georgetown, Colorado, which is the only place I ever see them, even though I've hiked all over the surrounding mountains. #colorado #wildlife #photography

When I found this bottle at a mine in the mountains west of Salida, Colorado, I almost didn't take a picture because I thought it was modern, but it's actually about 130 years old. #colorado #history #artifacts #photography

While hiking in the La Garita Wilderness, north of Creede, Colorado, it was often tempting just to stand and look, but with the farthest ridge on the left yet to be crossed in both directions, there was simply not enough time. #colorado #scenery #photography

While there is plenty of evidence that this miner's cabin has had visitors during the century since it was abandoned, its location high up on the side of a cliff near Montezuma, Colorado, has kept it safe from casual plunderers. #colorado #history #photography

The terrain southwest of Silverton, Colorado is so stunning that it's almost impossible not to stop and stare at every turn in the trail. #colorado #scenery #photography

The building in the background, which is in a group of similar large structures north of Idaho Springs, Colorado, has fallen down since this photo was taken. #colorado #history #photography #ruins

Some of these bristlecone pines, which are on a ridge north of Alma, Colorado, are over a thousand years old. #colorado #scenery #photography

The end of this valley, deep within the Indian Peaks Wilderness northwest of Boulder, Colorado, doesn't seem that far away, but there's another lake up there, and several moose concealed in the dense ground cover between the two lakes. #colorado #scenery #photography

If mine headframes were mass produced, they would probably look like this purely functional example near Central City, Colorado, but they must not have been, because compared to others I've seen, this one would be top of the line. #colorado #history #photography #ruins

Water continues to pour out of the high mountains northwest of Idaho Springs, Colorado long after the snow melts. #colorado #scenery #photography

If a building were to suddenly come alive and drag itself across the landscape, only to become stranded on a steep slope below a wall of trees, it might look like this highly evolved, but slowly dying shaft house north of Idaho Springs, Colorado. #colorado #ruins #history #photography
