  • The trail to Yankee Girl Mine was fun with a Jeep and there are quite a few buildings still standing. Great remains of Colorado history.

  • Need a 4 wheeled drive vehicle to get there..do not try to go there in a regular vehicle. We went on a 4 hour photo tour with Alpine Scenic Jeep Tours.

  • A great place to visit for anyone who loves history, especially the mining history of southwest Colorado. Easy to reach off US-550, the views are spectacular. A must-stop if you are visiting the San Juans.
  • The Yankee Girl Mine is awesome! It has been very well preserved, and has tons of other mines around it, all part of the Red Mountain Mining District, one of the richest mining districts in the world. It is in a very picturesque scene, with the beautiful Red Mountain hiding behind it.. Easy to take a 4x4 car too, or even hike too, as it is a very short distance from the highway!
  • Great place to explore some of the old mining history in the area. The road to Yankee Girl is pretty good, made it there in a Honda CR-V. Beautiful views and fascinating history.
  • In the background is Yankee Girl mine in the the Red Mountain Mining Area located South of Ouray, Colorado in the San Juan Mountains National Forest. This area is packed with great views and historical mines and towns.
  • This is an awesome historical mining place to see. Any time of year.
