Imagine commuting 7 miles in 45 minutes on a four-wheeled bicycle through a mine tunnel. In Telluride, Colorado, Idarado miners did just that as they mined rich veins of zinc, lead and copper to help win WWII. How did the volcanic calderas develop to produce these rich veins? What ingenious methods were used to develop this mine? Learn why it’s a five-star Trip Advisor stop on the Million Dollar Highway. Participants will get to examine stock certificates, mineral specimens, and maps.
