MINTURN - When it comes to best places "to go," this public restroom in Minturn is one of the best in the U.S., according to an annual contest.
These artsy cube-like restrooms were designed with the city's mining history in mind. This innovative facility was built using 3D technology by a Colorado business called LGM.
