About Idaho Springs, CO
Idaho Springs is situated just upstream from Golden and Evergreen about 30 miles west of Denver. It’s a mountain town with a mining tradition that dates to when gold was first discovered in Colorado in 1859.
Rafters, climbers, and horseback riders love the rocky terrain that surrounds Idaho Springs. It’s a popular spot for off-roading on trails like Barbour Fork 4x4 Road, hiking near St. Mary’s Glacier, or cruising on the highest road in North America, the Mt. Evans Scenic Byway. The Indian Hot Springs Resort is a popular spot to relax in hot mineral waters and caves.
In Idaho Springs, mining still plays a big part in the city’s economy and way of life. Many mine tours are available, such as the Argo Gold Mine and Mill, which allows one to see what a working mill once looked like. The Phoenix Gold Mine is still operational, but still gives visitors the chance to learn about mining and pan for gold in the river.
In Idaho Springs you’ll find a variety of real estate options, from restored Victorian home to cozy mountain cabins. Idaho Springs is considered something of a bedroom community for the Loveland Ski area not far away, making rentals harder to come by in the winter.
