Two main dirt roads run through Mountain City on the outskirts of Central City in Gilpin County, Colorado. Houses and buildings stand in clusters along the roads and on a hill in the right midground. Piles of tailings from the area's numerous mines dot the hillsides around the small town. A car is on the road in the left foreground.
