    Tips

    December 6, 2025

    The Continental Divide Trail leads through the breathtaking Mineral Basin. Shimmering Lake, small streams, a winding trail, sheer cliff walls and the occasional deer – it doesn't get much more scenic than that. However, look closely and you will spot one or the other relic of the mining past. There are also some nice spots to camp between the trees.
