Day 7:
Ouray, CO to Woodland Park, CO
The first track of the day was to be a route recommended by Charles Wells book dubed the “Red Mountain Mining District” trail. Growing up in CO my parents and I would always go to the mountains hunting for ghost towns and old railroad spikes etc. so I was really looking forward to this. The trail starts at mile post 84 off of US 550 and heads back into the mountain. We passed by Yankee Girl Mine which was very well preserved.
