CRIPPLE CREEK  

Fifteen miles to the south is the historic town of Cripple Creek, with the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine Tour 1000 feet underground, the Cripple Creek to Victor steam engine train trip, the Mining Museum, the famous Butte Opera House with the rowdiest melodrama in the world, and of course limited stakes gambling.

                     Gold mine tours offered daily...                       "Quick Draw" competition, an annual event.

The steam engine ride from Cripple Creek to Victor past the "still operating" gold mine is a peaceful repose from the bustle of Cripple Creek's gambling and museums...

Your innkeepers will happily provide an area driving map for self-guided gold mine tours.
