Unaweep / Tabeguache Byway, Colorado
Thimble Rock & Driggs Mansion

Around Mile Marker 129 you'll pass two landmarks: Thimble Rock, and Driggs Mansion.  The stone house was built in the shadow of the towering mountain, sometime around 1918.  Unfortunately, the ruins are now on private land and are not accessible.

About 8 miles north of Gateway (at Mile Marker 120) you'll find a turnout at the Unaweep Seep.  Think of it as a natural spring, but instead of pouring out at one location, water seeps out slowly, over a wide area.  The photo above shows the mountain above the Seep, not the Seep itself, which is on the opposite side of the road, underneath a tangle of weeds. (While you can't see the Seep, you can hear the water trickling.)
