Description
This historical video takes you through Gunnison country, one of Colorado's most colorful and scenic regions. Return with us to a century ago to the high adventure of the past- Ute Indians in Gunnison Valley, Spanish explorers looking for gold, mountain men trapping "black gold," and placer miners searching for "pay dirt" or gold. Join the great surveyors as they explore this virgin land over 100 years ago and thrill to the great mining rush of the Gunnison country from 1879-1881. You'll also be thrilled by the exploits of colorful narrow gauge railroads, the lusty cattle frontier and the stunning beauty of a mountain wonderland.
