Red Cliff



IMG_6001

The little town of Red Cliff must have been a happening place in the heyday of its long life.  Now it is a sleepy little outdoors and artist town with a little mining here and there.  This house was by far the most interesting in town.  It looked like something from Switzerland.

This spectacular bridge on the main highway is just outside Red Cliff.  The road to Red Cliff passes underneath.

The Abandoned Town of Gilman

The old mining town of Gilman was abandoned when the mine shut in 1984 and the EPA kicked everyone out due to contamination of the groundwater and pretty much everything else by mining activity.

Tailings spill down the mountainsides from the old mines.
