Paint Mines Interpretive Park: Calhan Colorado

Paint Mines Interpretive Park is located at 29950 Paint Mine Road, Calhan, CO 80808. It is free to the public and is open 6 AM to 7 PM daily. When we were there on June 18, 2021 the temperature was approaching 100 degrees with a strong wind blowing. I advise to go early or late in the day for the best lighting for photography. We spent about 2 to 2 1/2 hours there and still didn’t see everything. Take plenty of water as it is very dry and there isn’t any water available. There is a pit toilet in the parking lot.

Music:
To Weather a Storm by Dan Lebowitz
Allegro by Emmitt Finn
Twilight Train by Dan Lebowitz

Thanks to Chaney, the Park Interpreter. We are sorry the video we shot of you didn’t make the cut, but the wind was so strong it was hard to hear what you were saying.
