The Crystal Mill is an 1892 wooden powerhouse located on an outcrop above the Crystal River in Crystal, Colorado, United States. The mill is situated in one of the most beautiful, picturesque sites in the Colorado Rockies and reputed to be the most photographed area in Colorado state. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Situated east of Marble, Colorado about 6 miles up a rugged 4x4 former mining trail road used by miners in the late 1800's, the mill is near the ghost town of Crystal at an elevation of 8,950 ft. The trail continues into the Elk mountains to through an area known as the "Devils Punch Bowl" and has a reputation of being the most deadly back country 4x4 trail in Colorado.

The mill was constructed in 1893 by George C. Eaton and B.S. Phillips, promoters of the Sheep Mountain Tunnel and Mining Company. The penstock powered the air compressor. In turn, the enormous compressor ran drills in the nearby Sheep Mountain and Bear Mountain gold mines. The drills were used to bore holes in the mine walls for the placement of dynamite. After the dynamite was detonated, the miners removed the whole ore.

Even after the operation shut down in 1917, the site has been preserved with the help of the Gunnison and Aspen historical societies and today The Crystal Mill remains an attraction for the city of Crystal.

This is a focus bracketed/stacked image consisting of 4728 individual images to yeild 165 focus stacked images in an 16 row x 115 column array resulting in a 14 ft. x 14 ft. wall mural.

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
