Winter Tour Information

The ore from the Carbonate Mine travelled by Airel Tram to the Iowa Mill, about 1,500ft below. While the tram has been decommisioned the mill is still intact and now offers a unique oppurtunity to live like the miners of old at 12,000ft up Bald Mountain. Spend the night in our rustic mill building, one and a half miles from the town and from your modern worries. Enjoy some of the best outback and most scenic views in the valley as you snowshoe, ski or sled on guided trips or solo. Along the way you can gain a glimpse of a past time and feel the quiet beauty of the mountain. Meals provided on request, as are guide services. Our guided trip takes you to the mine portal but due to 8-12 feet of snow, tours inside the mine are currently not possible.
