Located deep in the breathtaking San Juan Mountains of Hinsdale County, the Russella Mining Claim offers an incredible opportunity to own a piece of Colorado’s rich mining heritage surrounded by some of the most spectacular alpine scenery in the state. Tucked among towering peaks, rugged ridgelines, and vast public lands, this historic claim is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs, or anyone seeking a private mountain retreat far from the crowds. With Hinsdale County consisting of over 96% public land, opportunities like this are increasingly rare in one of Colorado’s most pristine and remote mountain regions. The property provides direct access to endless recreational opportunities including hiking, ATV and jeep trails, hunting, fishing, camping, and backcountry exploration. Spend your summers exploring old mining roads, traversing nearby alpine passes, or enjoying the peaceful solitude and cool mountain air that make this area so special. Wildlife is abundant throughout the region, with regular sightings of elk, mule deer, moose, and black bear, making this a fantastic hunting option for trophy GMU 66. Nearby Lake City and Lake San Cristobal offer additional recreation, dining, and small-town mountain charm while still maintaining the quiet, secluded feel that draws people to the San Juans. Steeped in Colorado history, the Russella Mining Claim sits below Dolly Varden Peak and just east of the Dolly Varden Mine an area once known for productive silver, lead, copper, and zinc mining during the late 1800s mining boom. Today, the property represents not only a tangible connection to the Old West, but also a chance to own a unique slice of mountain wilderness in a county where private land is exceptionally limited. Whether you’re looking for mineral exploration, a long-term investment, or your affordable slice of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the Russella Mining Claim delivers unmatched Colorado mountain character and adventure. Mineral Rights Included: "Together with all gold, silver, molybdenum, minerals, metals, ores, and other mineral bearing substances located therein..."Priced to sell. Seasonal access off of Engineer Pass. Property being sold “As is Where is.”
