Denver Mining Club Field Trip to Alma Placer Mine, Park County, Colo. On Friday, Oct. 8, 2021, we’ll meet at 1 p.m. at the Alma mine office, located just east of Alma, for a one-hour tour of High Mountain Mining Co, LLC’s placer operation. Access is via the mine road just south of town, near the Town of Alma road sign on CO Hwy. 9. Attendees must register due to limited group size and wear a hard hat and reflective vest; work or hiking boots are recommended (no open toed shoes are allowed). Because the mine is at 10,500-ft elevation and involves walking over uneven ground, persons with medical issues should consider carefully whether to attend. Bring snacks and/or a picnic lunch and consider carpooling.
