Encampment, WY 82325(Carbon County)

The Dewey Lode mining claim is located approximately 12 miles west of Encampment, Wyoming in the Medicine Bow National Forest. Set in the beautiful Sierra Madre mountain range, the 20.66 deeded acre +/- tract abuts national forest and is an outdoor enthusiast dream. Home to a variety of wildlife including elk, deer and bear, the Dewey Lode enjoys easy highway access on the recently designated Battle Pass Scenic Byway (HWY 70). Named for a famous battle between the Indians and Fur Trappers in 1841, the Battle Pass Scenic Byway was used to connect many of the ghost towns in the Sierra Madres to Encampment during the mining boom in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Just up the highway from the property is a pullout overlooking Battle Lake and a monument to Thomas Edison who vacationed there in 1878. Boasting breath taking views, the Dewey Lode offers a unique ownership opportunity to those who enjoy hunting, hiking, ATVing, snowmobiling, wildlife photography and history.
