Exploring the Lewis Mill – Telluride, CO
Exploring the Lewis Mill – Telluride, CO
Rui and I explore the abandoned Lewis Mill, high up in the mountains of Telluride, CO.
A towering five-story structure that sits in a beautiful alpine meadow at 12,450 feet is one of the most scenic pieces of history in the area. It is a little bit of work to get to but well worth it. Built in 1910, Lewis Mill was a high elevation ore mill. The mill was just one structure in a mining complex that also included a mine portal, tram house, bunkhouse and office, and was at one time powered by electricity from the Bridal Veil Power Station.

Thanks for the video! My wife (Sarah) and I saw you all hiking up to the mill that afternoon (last Thursday) — hope you had a great stay in the cabin and enjoyed the meteor shower!
