These are the remains of the Camp Bird Mine up Yankee Boy Basin from Ouray, Ouray County, Colorado. Driving southwest out of Ouray about five miles up a four wheel drive road is this crumbling structure. The mine is at 13,000 feet and even though it isn't being worked there are still shafts and tunnels in the area.

The Hardrock 100 race goes right by these remains as runners compete in the 100 mile race over some of Colorado highest peaks. The Hardrock race is to honor the miners that worked these mines "back in the day."

The Camp Bird Mine is a famous and highly-productive old gold mine located between Ouray and Telluride, Colorado. The mine is within the Sneffels-Red Mountain-Telluride mining district in the San Juan Mountains.

It was discovered by Thomas F. Walsh in 1896, and is (or was) owned by the Federal Resources Corp. The mine produced about 1.5 million troy ounces of gold, and 4 million troy ounces of silver, from 1896 to 1990. At 2009 prices, Camp Bird's production would be worth over US$1.5 billion. Walsh sold the property for US$ 5.2 million in 1902. Walsh's daughter, Evalyn Walsh McLean, later purchased the Hope Diamond. Walsh died in 1909.

Camp Bird is named after the "Camp Birds", probably Rocky Mountain jays, that ate many a miner's lunch.Telluride native David Lavender related his experiences working at the Camp Bird Mine in the 1930s in his classic memoir One Man's West.
