St. Mary's Glacier

     Our house is located in a most unusuall and exraordinary place.We are located just on the eastern edge of the great divide in the old historic gold minning town of " Alice" also known as St. Mary's Glacier. Among other gold mines of the 1800's Alice ( St. Mary's Glacier) was where the "Glory Hole Mine" was. At one time we could boast a daily stage coach run from Central City thru Alice and down to Idaho Spings. To this day you can still pan for gold up here just like in the old days.
     Being on the edge of the Great Divide we are also just below tree line and the "Tundra". It's like being in an ocean of mountain tops and a great place to hike in the James Peak Wilderness area.

     We have a lot of history up here from the gold minning days of the 1800's to now. Did I mention that St. Mary's Glacier is the future home of the Eclips Snow Park as well. They hope to open this comming fall and will make a great place to come and snow board and ski too. We'll  have hiking, mountain climbing, gold panning in the summer and skiing and snow boarding in the winter.

Enjoy the Pleasure of Mountain Living
  • We'll keep you up to date with weekly reports on the weather, and activities as they come up.

  • While it snowed about four inches today, it's beginning to show signs of spring. This is an unpredictable time of year. One day the suns out and the next day it will be snowing. It's still a good place for snow shoeing and hiking. Sleding and playing around is always fun too.
