Bridge over Oh-be-joyful Creek

Oh-be-joyful Creek is a stream in Gunnison County, Colorado, in the United States.[1]

Oh-be-joyful Creek was so named in the 19th century after valuable ore was discovered in the gulch.[2][3]

The creek's headwaters form on the east slope of the Ruby Range in the vicinity of Oh-be-joyful Peak and Afley Peak. The creek is a tributary of the Slate River.
