Ok, sure Kevin, the tour sounds like fun but is there any gold I can pan there? Well, maybe barely. There is an open space park at the south end of 2nd Ave in Cripple Creek that includes a stretch of the infamous Cripple Creek next to the sewage treatment plant. You may find a few micro-specks there, as I did, but there’s a reason they called this area “Poverty Gulch” back in the day!! Want to learn more about places to go gold prospecting?
