While fascinating, it's highly discouraged to seek out these places to explore on your own due to the fact that they are largely unsafe, and typically privately owned, which, if one were to enter said property, it would be considered trespassing.

However, with the abundance of drones in this day and age, it has become exponentially easier to take a look around these historic and abandoned places located throughout the state.

Keep scrolling to take a look around one of these historic and abandoned Colorado properties, the Santiago Mill:

In case you're not familiar, the Santiago Mill is located high in the Rocky Mountains just south of I-70 near Keystone.

The mill was originally opened in 1899 as part of the mining district known as the Waldorf Basin of Clear Creek County, but has since been sitting abandoned for some time.

However, as you can see above, the main mill building built into the side of a hill is still standing, as is another, smaller building next to it.

In addition, an old foundation that appears to have once been part of a basement has held up over the years as well.
