Idaho Springs Colorado Tourism

Traveling 30 minutes from Denver will take you back over 100 years to the flourishing hub of Colorado’s gold country. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to get to Idaho Springs. Just take Interstate 70 west.

With no mountain passes to cross, Idaho Springs makes a perfect half or full day trip for every visitor who would like to get a taste of a real Colorado mountain community. Made rich by gold, still rich with history, Idaho Springs is a “must-see” for anyone visiting Colorado. The Ute and Arapaho Indians called the place “Gem of the Mountains” and used the hot springs for their healing powers.

Pioneer miner George Jackson knew he found a gold mine when he happened upon Idaho Springs in 1859, and he wasn’t about to let the secret out.

But as history would have it, word traveled fast about the riches of Idaho Springs and folks flocked here in scores. Long after the gold rush, Idaho Springs remains a treasure. There’s plenty of history to discover, beauty to explore, and memories to take home.
