Come join ADVGLD on an adventure to the most extraordinary Old Mining Ghost Town I have ever seen. Gilman, Colorado. Old Eagle Mine. We are going to bust out the Drone for this one and get some epic shots. We will be using the DJI Mavic Air 2s.

Gilman, CO ghost town sits atop a fantastic, 600-foot cliff above the Eagle River, located on the side of Battle Mountain. It's easily seen off Highway 24, from Vail to Leadville. This one is off-limits and located on private property, though. There are several scenic spots to pull your car over and check out. Authorities have been known to prosecute trespassers. It's a former mining town that had been in use for nearly 100 years, until 1984 when it was forced to close. Founded in 1886 during the Colorado silver boom, Gilman quickly became the most successful in Eagle County. Mining in the area began around 1879, and Gilman was developed during the 1880s by John Clinton, a prospector, and judge from nearby Red Cliff.

Clinton built the town of Gilman as a company town to keep miners on site. Then, in 1882, the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad reached the Belden mining camp at the cliff's base. By 1899, there were 300 people in town, and even a newspaper, the Gilman Enterprise.

The area was mined until 1984 when the EPA demanded it is closed due to toxic conditions. It was designated a Superfund site in 1986 and was concluded in 2000 to have been substantially cleaned up.
