The 2024 Season in Photos

75th Anniversary of Mineral’s Volunteer Fire Department!!!

Thank you to all of the volunteers throughout the years, as we celebrate the 75th year of the Mineral Volunteer Fire Department! Not only do volunteers respond to local fire incidents, they also support residents and visitors with many types of emergencies. We enjoyed celebrating with you at this year’s pancake breakfast on July 7, 2024.

Doesn't look like normal airplane spray, nor flight patterns. Mineral smelled like rain the next few days.

Beware of the Tennis Courts

June 15, 2024

Historically there were tennis courts on this property, but now it sits in disrepair. As this property is along one of the most commonly walked roads in and out of Cool Air, take note. Beware of broken fencing and watch to make sure dogs or kids don't end up wandering over while walking by and getting cut.

Early Morning... It Begins!

It's a beautiful day as everyone is getting ready to visit the Lodge, explore the outdoors and enjoy the mountain air! Although a cool and sunny morning, there is still snow on the mountains behind the Ranch.

Something New?

There's a new water tank in town and the previous one is being refurbished during June. Looking beautiful on the hill, as always!

In Memory

Mineral remembers the fallen on this Memorial Day weekend. First things first, flags are appearing and waving throughout each day this weekend.

Mineral remembers fondly residents and family members who have passed.

Paynes Creek View

Just when we thought the snow was finished, we were glad to be getting more rain. But, these stormy clouds were looking a bit ominous! It wasn't long before rain turned to snow a few more times.

The Last Big Snow

May 5, 2024

Walking to the Lodge on May 5th for the weekly breakfast club was a bit easier with snow shoes and poles, after nearly 17" of snow during the past day and night. What a difference a few weeks makes!

Flowers in Bloom

May 18, 2024

Mineral's flowers seem more abundant than ever this year, perhaps due to the recent snows and rain. The colors seem especially vibrant this year! Walk around and see what you think... aren't there more flowers than usual?!
