Argo Gold Mill and Tunnel

Denver, a lively and active city, boasts 300 days of sunshine and stunning blue skies against the backdrop of the majestic Rocky Mountains. Situated exactly one mile high at 5,280 feet (1,609 meters) above sea level, it offers a vibrant experience. Explore the city's highlights and attractions with our three-day itinerary. While Denver is walkable, don't forget to consult our guide for navigating the city without a car.

This small town is less than 1 hour from Denver and is close to SO MANY epic hikes, has plenty of fun things to do, and is home to a quaint downtown full of delicious restaurants and shops. I’m SO excited to share this guide on how to spend one weekend in Idaho Springs. It’s truly the best 3-day Idaho Springs itinerary in my (not-so-biased) opinion. In addition to a complete itinerary, you'll also find extra things to do, places to eat, and tips from my experience in the town!
