Things to Do:
The town of Idaho Springs began as a result of Colorado's first major gold discovery in 1859 by George Jackson, and was incorporated in 1885. Because it has not lost its' buildings to a major fire like many other historic towns, it is one of the best preserved towns in Colorado. The city of Idaho Springs is central to Colorado's mining and transportation history. Preserved Victorian architecture and a historic downtown district help keep that history alive. The town is a destination for many groups who want to experience the Clear Creek\Gilpin County "cradle" of Colorado history. Idaho Springs is located just 30 miles (50km) west of Denver in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, and is easily accessible from Interstate 70. It has a population of 2,451 people (1998) and is 9 square miles in size. Tourism is the main source of revenue. The downtown area is listed in the National Historic District Registry.
What to Wear:
In the cold, winter months a warm jacket (ski jacket would be great), sweaters, pants, gloves, long under garments, and hat would be helpful.
