SAXON MOUNTAIN
THESE PICTURES ARE THUMBNAILS.  PLEASE CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO SEE AN ENLARGED VERSION - AND MORE INFORMATION.

This is the mission.  You can't see it in this picture, but there is a trail that goes up the side of this mountain.

 This sign is no joke.  It's steep, and there are lots of rocks in the way, many of which will find themselves lodged under your vehicle if you aren't careful.

Some cabins along the way.

Some pictures of some Mining Paraphanelia along the way.

These are two views from <insert deep echo voice here> "INSIDE THE MINE"

Two pictures of Ernest's jeep.  The first one is blurred... to hide identities...

These are three different views of the trail, and heading up the trail.  Thats Babe in two of those!

Once you get to the top of a nearby mountain, you can see where the side was "logged".  I was sitting on a stump when I took those pictures (If I remember right).  By the way, thats my bud Drew hanging out around Babe.
 
 

TO GET THERE: Take I-70 to Georgetown, Take a left at the exit, and go until it dead ends.  It dead ends on main street, where you will take a left.  Follow that road for a ways, and before you know it, your 4-wheeling! A recommended side trip is Guanella Pass (you'll see the signs for that one).
