Description
This wood hanging flume is on a red sandstone wall over the San Miguel River near Uravan, Colorado. The wood water chute is ten miles long and took 25 men three years to construct. It is used for mining gold and was built in the late 1880s. It is located alongside highway 141 in western Colorado. You might have to look closely to see it all along the wall. The flume is 6 feet wide and 4 feet high.
