Crystall Mill - an off road adventure in Marble, Colorado
As part of our last fall tour in Colorado, we did the Crystal Mill off road jeep tour with the Crystal River Jeep Company in Marble. Well known for its picturesque beauty, the Crystal Mill didn't disappoint us. The 3 hour tour drove us through some rugged back country roads, much of the time beside the Crystal River. Besides the back country off road experience, the bonus was ravishing fall colors!

American Southwest (#06): Marble & Redstone, Colorado
The Marble Capital of the United States ... was initially settled by prospectors who formed a camp known as Yule Creek, named for pioneer George Yule. Gold, silver, and lead were mined from 1880 into the 1890s. Even before the prospectors found their deposits, geologist Sylvester Richardson had noted in 1873 the beds of marble in Whitehouse Mountain. The marble was merely a curiosity then, because it was on the Ute Reservation. After the Utes were moved west to allow prospectors in, attempts to quarry the stone in the 1880s enjoyed limited profitability because of the area's remoteness from a railhead.
The standard-gauge Crystal River & San Juan Railroad was completed from Carbondale in 1906, connecting the finishing mill at Marble with the Denver & Rio Grande branch line to Aspen. That rail link, combined with a four-mile-long electric railway that transported marble from the quarry to the huge finishing mill, made production much more lucrative. The first large order, for a Cleveland courthouse, invigorated the community. The best years followed, peaking from 1912 to 1917. The town was, literally, made by and of marble. Entire buildings were constructed of it, as were foundations and even sidewalks.
The town of Marble had its share of setbacks. A fire in 1916 destroyed much of downtown. Avalanches buried the finishing mill and the railroad tracks. Financial problems forced the closure of the quarry in 1941, as consumers began to order veneers instead of blocks or to choose cheaper marble substitutes. Mudslides in that year took large portions of the business section. Machinery, rails, even metal window frames were salvaged for scrap during World War II. Its glory days apparently over, Marble became a town of pleasant summer cabins.
Redstone ... named for its sandstone cliffs, Redstone came to life because of vast coal deposits found in 1884 by John Cleveland Osgood. He and other investors founded the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, which became an industry giant. Their mines at Coal Basin, four miles west of Redstone, produced more than a million tons of coal. Osgood was a different brand of capitalist. Instead of taking advantage of underpaid workers, he did quite the opposite, creating Redstone as a model company town with practically utopian conditions. Married men and their families lived in eighty-four Swiss-chalet-style cottages, no two alike. Each two-to-five-room cottage, landscaped with lawns and gardens, had the then-unheard of luxury of electricity and running water. Bachelors lived in a forty-room lodge, now the respected Redstone Inn. Its clubhouse was open to all employees and featured a library and theater, where the company provided drama productions, lectures, and concerts.
Spillway Gorge, West Hurley, NY
I went back to Spillway Gorge this time at sunrise to take pictures of the waterfall there. I saw for the first time the rocks that formed the gorge, a formation I’d say more typical of the west. Here in the east coast, lush vegetation covers much of the land. Still, when rocks do get exposed as they did at Spillway Gorge, they can be dramatic and beautiful to look at.
I just wish people are allowed to explore the gorge, especially since—as I understand it—it’s a spillway for the Ashokan Reservoir. Contamination caused by bathers and picnickers on the rushing waters could not possibly flow back upstream to the reservoir. The rock formation could give east coasters a taste of what, say, the Grand Canyon in the west might be like by walking on it.
The trip also gave me a chance to scout the area in daylight, something I should have done before going there at night two weeks ago to photograph the Milky Way when an unidentified animal—likely a porcupine but could equally likely have been a predator—came too close for my comfort as it crossed the bridge in total darkness. In bright daytime, the place looked much different and much friendlier. And with countless slabs of rock laid flat and perfect for laying blankets and pools of water to dip one’s toes in, Nature at Spillway Gorge never looked more inviting.

Forsyth Nature Center in Kingston New York - FREE Petting Zoo & Playground in Hudson Valley
We just came across an amazing FREE petting zoo and playground in Hudson Valley / Upstate New York - the Forsyth Nature Center in Kingston New York (Ulster County). You can even bring your own apples and carrots to feed some of the animals!! We loved seeing the llamas, alpacas, peacocks, bunnies, iguana, boa constrictor, exotic birds, cows, goats, and more! Across the same parking lot you'll find the Forsyth Park Playground which was big, nice, and new! Parking is free though the bathrooms were locked, probably a pandemic precaution.
