From there, it attempted a road along the Crystal River that is only used by four-wheel-drive vehicles. CR 3 eventually passes the historic, abandoned Crystal Mill before arriving in the tiny town of Crystal, high in the backcountry.The big rig first got stuck on Wednesday and “remained jack-knifed across the popular route … until tow trucks extracted it on Friday, Aug. 18, around noon,” the Aspen Daily News reported. “Over the 40-hour period, nobody could ...
