Officers Gulch - Unique Excursion Some may wonder what the significance of the lonely exit between Frisco and Copper Mountain called Officers Gulch. The name comes from a resident who lived in Ten Mile Canyon and mined the area. The Monroe mine as it was called, was mainly of iron sulfide with gold and a small about of Copper. Just off exit 198 are remains of an early labor camp. A few stone huts are still visible today on the East Side of I-70. To reach the old labor camp, walk on the dirt path from the paved parking lot over a wooden bridge. Follow the path as it goes between two small rock outcrops. Soon the path divides. Take the right fork, which will lead you to a campfire area. Several yards past the first campfire, which is on your right, the trail divides again. The path on the right isn’t as clearly delineated as the one on the left, but take it anyway and follow it to the cabin ruins on the right side of the trail.
