This is a private tour certified by the State of Colorado the driver has all the necessary comercial insurance to drive in the state of Colorado. We will begin by exploring historic Denver and the scenic beauty of the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater along with the most popular mining towns.
Imagine that Denver not long ago was full of Cowboys and Indians who roamed the mud filled streeets of Denver. Saloons and brothels along with many unswaory characters filled Market Street, Blake and Larimer street. Now those street and Larimer square are full of swanky restaurants and boutique stores. LoDo and the RiNo area hosts many restaurants, coffee shops and specialized breweries as well and of course incredible graffiti art on murals.
Leaving Denver we will ascend to over 6400 hundred feet when we visit the Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater. In the park there are miles of hiking trails that are intertwined with sandstone cliffs. Rolling Stones had previously ranked Red Rocks the best musical venue in the United States. Onward, we will go up through several beautiful canyons past Evergreen and then upto Idaho Springs. From Idaho Springs we ascend to the old mining towns of Central City which once claimed to have the richest square mile in the world.
Central City, Blaxkhawk, Nevadaville and Idaho Springs have had a long history of mining as at one time and had over 10,000 mines plus iin the area but since World War 11 all mining in the area has been shut down. The cost of operating a Gold mine was just too expensive but now a few mines are thinking about reopening. Get all the historical details of the old and new mining history in these towns.
