Scenic Golden Loop Historic Parkway
Cripple Creek and Victor, Colorado


Welcome to our historic driving tour...
We invite you to visit Victor & Cripple Creek and take a drive around golden loop. The 1890’s gold rush made this area one of the most famous mining districts in the world.
Thousands flocked to the area in search of golden wealth - leaving behind the mines and towns that still dot the landscape near Victor and Cripple Creek. This driving tour is designed to help you better understand the history of the gold rush as well as the present day mining operations.
This tour, courtesy of the Southern Teller County Focus Group, is one of many ways to learn about the rich history in the mining district.
We hope you enjoy your visit and please, re stay on public roads and trails.
