A friend and I hiked the Vindicator Valley Trail near the towns of Cripple Creek, Victor, and Goldfield. It's a short 2.1 mile loop through an outdoor museum of early mine structures left from the Cripple Creek gold rush. I've never seen so many mines packed into such a small area. Maybe a bunch of rusted and dilapidated buildings would be boring to some. I, however, am excited to be immersed in Colorado history. These buildings and their history will be gone someday. Any research into Colorado history will reveal its roots in mining. Many Colorado towns wouldn't even exist if not for mining. I filmed the 2 largest mines the most (The Theresa Mine & The Vindicator Mine). I enjoyed this hike immensely as it yielded maximum sights to see for minimal effort.
