Crystal Mill, Crystal, CO | 6.5mi, 1509ft

Very cool to check out the historic Colorado Crystal Mill. The ghost town of Crystal was abandoned in 1917 but there are still a handful of residents that come for the summer.

   

The trail follows a 4x4 road along the South Fork Crystal River. There are several small waterfalls along the way, most notable - the Devils Punch Bowl.

   

We timed the run perfectly to run while it was raining the most!
