Russell Gulch — photo spot in Russell Gulch, CO 80452, USA
Russell Gulch
High-altitude mining gulch with weathered cabins, rusted machinery, timbered mine openings and sweeping alpine ridgelines — excellent for evocative landscape and historic-documentary imagery. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm light and long shadows; fall brings aspens and winter offers snow-covered relics. Access via unpaved Forest Service roads (some sections rough—high-clearance or 4WD recommended); limited informal parking near old-site pullouts. No formal entry fees but respect signs
