Cable route on Treasury Mountain, Colorado.

The Cable Route on Treasury Mountain. I do not know how recently this mine operated but the idea that miners made this trek every day is impressive. There must have been treasures present indeed. In any case thise route consists of about 200-300 vertical feet of scree at the angle of repose with some scruffy cliffs above. Jon

An article on the Eureka mine's history from 1879 to 1950

"By 1950, a 2,200-foot, $100,000 aerial tram had been constructed from the Eureka to a bulldozed road below. Simpson took 50 loads of ore in two Dodge Power Wagons over Yule Pass and down the Slate River to the D&RG Railroad in Crested Butte."
