We are central to the Gold Belt National Scenic Byway and designated as a National Historic District.

 This well-preserved gold mining town is 45 minutes from Colorado Springs and  Pikes Peak.  We are  a unique setting of 1890's mine structures and turn-of-the-century buildings, unique shops and restaurants, as well as hiking trails, museums, and gold mining experiences.

We have clean, cool mountain air and plenty of year-round sunshine.

What we do not have - stoplights, chain stores, traffic, or anything resembling the rat race!
