Description
"Remains of the Yankiee Girl Mine" ©2016 Loree Johnson Photography. In the heart of the Red Mountain Mining District, just south or Ouray, Colorado and adjacent to the Million Dollar Highway, sits what's left of the Yankee Girl Mine. The Yankee Girl Mine produced eight million dollars in silver, copper, and gold ore in its lifetime, before its closure in 1914. The headframe of the mine is one of the most photographed sites in Colorado.
