Yep,Camp Bird and Sneffles are located in Yankee Boy Basin.When the road forks you can see Governors Basin and The Virginous way up the mountain.this is a Jeep road and one of the earlier mines in the San Juans.

wherever you were at, you had a BEAUTIFUL DAY. What scenery. Nowhere like it in the world, except maybe the Alps.
But, I wouldn't bet on that.
Go back. Not all got yet. Still the miner's poke, full of lots of lost gold.....
