operational. In
their day, they would produce over $1,500,000 in minerals annually. Their colorful names
include the Orphan Boy Mine, Dolly Varden Mine, Sweet Home Mine, Little
Daisy Mine, and London Mine.
There are many great things to
see and do in and around Alma.
The Bristlecon Pine Scenic Area
is at the base of Mt. Bross and is a great place for photographers,
artists, and those that just love hiking and taking in the views.
Bristlecone Pines are native to the Rocky Mountains and are thousands
of years old. For those that want a driving adventure, take a drive up
Buckskin Gulch all the way to Kite Lake. Or, fly-fish on the Middle
Fork of the South Platte River or fish Montgomery Reservoir. So much to
do and see!
Come
and experience the beauty and the history of Alma, Colorado and be
surrounded by Mountains ranging in heights of
over 14,000 ft. Alma is an easy 90 minutes from Denver and Colorado
Springs. Just the drive by itself is worth making and
when one adds this music experience along with it, well, it becomes a
musical adventure.
