Traveling to Rambler is no task for the tenderfoot. Located near the top of the western side of the Continental Divide is a small verdant dale in the middle of which is a clear blue lake. Close to the lake is what is left of Rambler. Once a booming copper mining town housing hundreds of people, only a few buildings still stand as the reminder of a town that produced half a million pounds of copper. All the ore was carried by mule train over the Divide and down to the smelter at Encampment. The alpine scenery alone is worth the trip. SUBMITTED BY: Henry Chenowith
