Cripple Creek Attractions (CO)

Cripple Creek is at the base of the southwest side of Pikes Peak and a little over 40 miles from Colorado Springs. But if you are out here on vacation with the aim of having some fun, it could be well worth the drive. The attractions include:
  • Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad - a 45 minute ride into the heart of the gold mining district. For more information phone 1-719-689-2640 or visit their web site at CrippleCreekRR
  • Golden Loop Historic Parkway - a self guided tour you take in your own car if you don't care to take the narrow gauge train. (A guide booklet is available for about 50 cents.) For more information visit the web site at GoldenLoop
  • Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine - Here's your chance to view a real, working gold mine 1,000 under ground. Reputedly the "most complete perspective on gold mining in the world", you get to hear actual gold miners (not just some professional tour guides) tell of their experiences and what life digging underground is like. For more information, phone (toll-free) 1-877-858-GOLD or visit their web site at www.goldminetours.com.
  • Mueller State Park - The Yosemite of Colorado - so called because it also boasts a bald granite dome resembling Yosemite's 'Half Dome'. Just north of town, the park offers excellent camping and hiking trails. For more information, phone 719-687-2366 or visit their web site at MuellerStatePark.
