Idaho Springs is a historic mining town nestled in the Clear Creek Canyon of Colorado's Front Range, approximately 30 miles west of Denver. Founded in 1859 during the Pike's Peak Gold Rush, the town played a significant role in Colorado's mining history. The discovery of gold in the area by George A. Jackson led to one of the first major gold discoveries in Colorado.
Today, Idaho Springs maintains much of its 19th-century character through its well-preserved downtown district, featuring Victorian architecture and historic buildings. The town serves as a gateway to several outdoor recreational activities in the Rocky Mountains and is known for its hot springs, which have been used for therapeutic purposes since Native American times. The community continues to celebrate its mining heritage while adapting to serve as both a tourist destination and a residential community, offering visitors insights into Colorado's rich mining past through various historical sites and museums.
