I took my ex-girlfriend here today for her birthday and had a FUN day.
The tour was only $15 and they let you pan their stream for the rest of the day included.
I hope to do Argo Mine next. Here are some pics from the Phoenix.







Some old "widow-makers"


I tried to escape through another shaft with this wheelbarrow full of goodness but this is as far as I got, I need a map of this mine...... kick_can.gif

Hi everyone!

I'm brand spanking new here and figured I'd place the inevitable first post. thumbsupsmileyanim.gif

While randomly browsing the forum, I noticed that this thread mentioned the Argo gold mine tour. Since I've passed by this location multiple times on the way to the mountains for snowboarding, I was thoroughly interested in visiting it. I'm glad everyone provided their input about how the mines are now off limits. Because they are, I can say that I'm not as interested in checking them out now.

With all of that being said, has anyone checked out the tours in Cripple Creek? My wife and I went gambling there in December and saw all the tours associated with the mines, which definitely struck our curiosity. Any sort of information would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome!

I've heard the Molly Katherine is a good tour; just haven't managed to find time to stop yet (in too big a hurry to "contribute to the local economy lol)

The Molly Kathleen tour http://www.goldminetours.com/goldminetours.com/Home.html was great about 15 years ago when I took my kids. They and I loved it.
