We started out going through and stopping at Wilkeson. A little town that was founded around the 1880's. This was a railway and mining town. Minors working the mines and railway workers for the Union Pacific use to stay at the hotel while working in the area. The hotel consisted of being also a brothel, and restaurant.
Commemorating the Union Pacific Railroad.
The U.S. Marshal seemed to have a tough town to run.
Sign in front of the old hotel.
The bridge crossing the Carbonado River...notice the wooden construction of the ends compared to the steel frame of the center of the bridge!
