SWISS BOY

NAME: Swiss Boy
COUNTY: Chaffee
ROADS: 2WD
GRID: 5
CLIMATE: Cold winter with snow, cool summer
BEST TIME TO VISIT:
Summer
COMMENTS: Above Winfield. The structures are accessible on a hiking trail that is pretty well hidden in and among the trees just north of Winfield - there is no marked trail head, although the trail is perhaps an 8-9% grade, it is easily passable. The actual mine shaft is the Swiss Boy mine, located on a VERY steep climb up from the Swiss Boy ruins.
REMAINS: Mine and buildings.
