Gillman was founded in 1886 and is still not exactly a ghost town. The town is perched on the side of Battle Mountain and had as many as 2000 residents during its boom years. Most of the cabins were built on the side of the steep hill and steps were constructed up the cliff to gain access to the mines. Half of Gillman was destroyed by fire in 1899 including a hotel, the schoolhouse and most of the business section. However, as recently as 1950 production was valued at nearly 13 million dollars and was well above five million in 1953. Submitted by Henry Chenoweth.

Update: in 1984, Gilman was abandoned and closed to the public while being cleared of mining pollutants. Zinc and lead were mined

Red Cliff Bridge (also known as the Eagle River Bridge) is an arch bridge near Vail, Colorado that carries U.S. Highway 24 over the Eagle River and the former Union Pacific Railroad track over Tennessee Pass. It is one of only two steel arch bridges within the entire state, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places

The bridge was designed by King Burghardt and built in 1940. Construction was difficult, with workers starting with a cantilevered design, sometimes in sub-freezing (below 32°F/ 0°C) temperatures hanging over a 200 foot (61 m) drop. Burghardt wrote in his journal, "In the morning, each gang was lifted to its scaffold on a platform hung from the high line. They took their lunches with them and spent the entire day in the air with the winter wind continually blowing up the canyon."The steel erection superintendent for the project was Earl "Doc" Lay of Minneapolis Steel Company. Cliff Prince was the operator of the highline hoisting system. Off and on, Prince was a law student at the University of Utah. C.P. "Chick" Lay and Ray Walton Sr. were Ironworkers on the project from Union Local 27 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Nels Neilson was the timekeeper for the job. N.P. Mettome was the Western Regional V.P. for Minneapolis Steel at the time.

Over the years, the bridge's condition deteriorated, necessitating restoration work, which was completed in November 2004 at a cost of $3.6 million, with approximately half of that coming from the Federal Highway Administration. The bridge deck was replaced and widened and much of the steel was repainted. However, because of the bridge's historic status, care was taken to maintain the visual aesthetic. The rehabilitation effort won the 2005 National Steel Bridge Alliance Prize Bridge Award for Reconstructed Bridge.

Over millions of years, erosion of the sedimentary rock exposed Devils Tower. It rises 867 feet from its base and stands 1,267 feet above the nearby Belle Fourche River, which carved most of the landscape that exposed the Tower. It stands 5,112 feet above sea level. The area of its teardrop-shaped top is 1.5 acres. The diameter of its base is 1,000 feet.
