Wild Irishman Wild Irishman Hidden deep in the woods is Wild Irishman Camp that represents the type of settlement where small numbers of men and their families lived and worked during the mining period. Due to its remote location, most of the remains are still intact. This area was a heavy producer of silver in the late 1800's. The town was never officially incorporated but people did occupy several cabins around the mine. Directions to Wild Irishman Camp: Follow the state Hwy 294 from the foot of Loveland Pass. Drive the 6 miles southeast to Montezuma. At the far edge of town, toward Webster Pass, take the two-mile U.S. Forest Service trail up to Saints John and Grizzly Gulch. From Saints John there are 3 roads. You want to drive through Saints John Creek and across the middle of the town. You will see faint trail with overgrown shrubbery. Drive 2 miles and pass the first trail going off to the left that will lead you to Preston tunnel. The second left will lead you straight into the Wild Irishman Camp. There is a great hiking trail from the camp that will lead you up Glacier Mountain.
