sites in the area. Old ranching homesteads can also be spotted and stories of colorful

local characters will be shared. Guided tour, approximately ninety minutes.

Hanging FlumeIn the 1880s, miners in western Colorado faced a problem of accessing gold deposits that were hundreds of feet above the Dolores river. They

came up with an ingenious solution; a flume was constructed that went thirteen miles up the canyon to a point where the current river was only slightly higher in elevation than the old

gold bearing river cobbles. On this excursion we travel down Highway 141 to visit the feat

of engineering and learn about the mining and ranching heritage of the area. Guided tour, 2
