Red Mountain Mining District +
The Red Mountain Mining District roughly covers the area from the summit of Red Mountain Pass northward to Ironton Park continuing on to about halfway to Ouray. The district was the site of a silver boom from 1882-1893. Famous mines such as Yankee Girl, National Belle and Guston and the towns of Red Mountain and Ironton are included in the district. Head frames of many of the old mines are still visible.
