Description
Taken at the Ute-Ulay Mine at Henson, just outside of Lake City, Colorado. At its peak, about 80 people lived in Henson, of which little remains. The gold and silver producing Ute and Ulay provided the primary economic basis for the Lake City ore industry. The mill and some buildings are still standing and in good repair. The Ute Ulay mine is located on County Road 20 (Engineer Pass Road), off of the Alpine Loop.
One of the most intact historic sites along the Alpine Loop, the Ute Ulay area contains numerous buildings, including a boarding house, barn, water tank and mill. And has some great history behind it.
