A trip through the gold mine at Idaho Springs lets kids see a working underground mine where real miners push tons of gold and silver ore into rail cars, just like they did years ago! Miners are eager to tell you about the history of the mine as well as interesting facts about mining. There are even places in Idaho Springs where you and your family can pan for gold. It could be your lucky day! You will not want to miss seeing the Charlie Tayler Water Wheel, which is the largest water wheel in the state. Your family can enjoy a pleasant hike to the base of Bridal Veil Falls where the water wheel is located. If you find yourself tired from the excitement of this mining town, try slipping into the natural hot mineral springs. You may discover their healing powers just like the Ute and Arapahoe Indians did hundreds of years ago!
