NAME: Pittsburg COUNTY: Gunnison ROADS: 2WD GRID: 5 CLIMATE: Lots of snow in winter, nice summers BEST TIME TO VISIT: Summer, or winter(for the adventurous) |
COMMENTS:
Just past Crested Butte. REMAINS: Not much Structurally, but roads, trails, foundations - very scenic. |
| Built on the side of a hill near timberline, Pittsburg was prone to snowslides which made it a dangerous place to live. The Augusta mine was a nearby mainstay and was said to have a vein from 10 to 30 feet wide. Today a few cabins remain. |
