There is no gold on Pikes Peak. Rather all the gold is located in the 3 calderas that surround Pikes Peak. Cripple Creek- Silverthrone - Idaho Spings/central & Blackhawk Cities are where all the gold mines and towns are located
Cripple Creek has definitely had a resurgence in gold mining! If you haven’t been in a few years you would be shocked to see it now! The mountainsides are being stripped and there are new leach pits that weren’t there just a few years ago. If gold drops, activity will too, but for now it’s ‘on’ in Teller County!
