The Crystal Mill located just outside of Marble is an old powerhouse that was constructed in the 1890s. It's right off the side of the forest road that you hike (or drive) on, so it's pretty much impossible to pass without catching your eye. There is a lot of history in this part of the mountains, and the remnants of these old mines and mills is a reminder of tougher times.
