Harry:

We must have driven past that plant 20 or more times and I never knew it existed! I suppose that's yet another reason to go to Ouray again! Also, it's a LOT easier to get to than Bridal Veil Power Station in Telluride (above Pandora).

Take care - Elden

Wouldn't you love to have this gem in your power house? You only need a mountain's worth of water pressure to feed it.

Check out the scenery between Silverton, Colorado and Ouray, Colorado. The hydro water comes off the north slope of this mountain...
