Since those exciting days, other precious fields have been discovered. Our unique lodge is located on the actual mining claim of Hunt Placer. Placer mining methods were used to recover gold nuggets and flakes that had been eroded from the rocks of the surrounding mountains and had been deposited in streams and rivers. Since gold is a very heavy mineral, it tended to
sink to the lower layers of gravels and other stream sediments. Placer miners used equipment that took advantage of this heaviness to separate and recover the gold from the stream deposits. Placer mining involved the use of water under high pressure to loosen gravel from the hillsides, which was then run through sluice boxes to filter out the gold. All mining was done at ground surface; no underground operations were performed in a typical placer mine. Next door to the Lodge, you will find Colorado's only placer mining park, the. Summit Historical Society's restored Lomax Placer Gulch, which includes an assay
office and a miner's cabin. The Lomax Mine has a complete collection of the equipment used in a typical hydraulic mining operation. Lomax Mine in the Summer. Skiway Lodge Exterior. Our building was constructed from the ground up as an exculsive lodge. Carl and Gwen Ray picked out the historic site and were integral to the design and construction of the building.

Breakfast. Since then we have added paved

tubs and redwood deck out back, gas fire pit, plush robes, comfy
slippers, HD
TVs,
hairdryers,
