Unaweep/Tabeguache Scenic and Historic Byway
Coke Oven, CO

On the west side of the road is a dome-shaped coke oven built in the 1880s. Coal was heated in the oven to produce coke, a combustible material that burns practically smoke free. It is believed that coke from this oven was used by blacksmiths during the construction of the hanging flume.
