    Spent sometime up in the Halfmoon Creek area of Colorado yesterday. I've wanted to visit this area for quite awhile and was finally able too.

    Champion Mill. I would've liked to check it out put there is a newer gate up along the road so I had to settle for this.

    I called it quits here and walked up a little ways, the road continues on to Champion Mine.

    Just got back from the Champion Mill and Mine as well. Was a beautiful spot. Many more photos to come in our own trip report, but here's a view from the top.

    Was the gate up to the mill open when you where there? Looked fairly new along with the private property sign.

    Nope, gate to the mill was closed so we weren't able to drive up there. To the pass/mine was open though (no gate) so we went as far as we could that direction. Will have the trip report in a couple weeks on my build thread if you want to check it out, or you can put your email in here to get a notification when I post.
