Abandoned Champion Mine Mill
Ascending Mt. Champion
Nothing to stop a fall...
Looking down on Independence Pass (the highest paved road over
the Continental Divide)
An old can of beans reminds me that real people
lived here. It's crazy to think that guys called this
place home while they worked all the way up here.
The view was breathtaking, but that may have been
the lack of oxygen at 13,700 feet above sea level!
Headed back out for the long ride home, it's always hard to leave
a truly awe-inspiring place.
