This abandoned mine, the St. Louis Tunnel, is located in the Leadville Mining District, near the ghost town of Stumptown, Colorado. I found it in September 2020, while searching for remains of the D&RGW's Railroad grade and other abandoned mines. This mine has some phenomenal scenery, and has become of my favorite mines I've ever seen. Enjoy some nice pictures and history covered by the beautiful song "Reverie" from Halo Infinite!

Please consider donating to help my friends at the South Park Society restore Colorado & Southern boxcar #8166, which is one of the last C&S Railroad boxcars in existence. They are a non profit organization and do not get many donations. Even $5 dollars helps out big time!

You'll learn lots about Colorado mining history! There's a timestamp in the description for you to use to pick up where you left off on and to skip to the best parts of the video!!
