We stopped for lunch just below the Eldorado Ski Area in a big pullout.
Nederland Mining Museum
The Nederland Mining Museum is an interesting little place. It is only open in the summers but has a nice collection of artefacts from around the area. 
This big old steam shovel worked on the Panama Canal before somehow ending up in Colorado.
A baby steam shovel.
A creek flowing through town with spring snow melt.
Nederland
Driving into Nederland, we saw this behemoth jacked up Jeep Cherokee running what appears to be tractor tires parked on the side of the road. Is that even close to street legal in Colorado?
We weren’t the only ones taking pictures.
Some train cars and a caboose were brought up to Netherland at some point in the past to make a diner.
The beautiful creek that runs through town.
