Drive the 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘄𝗮𝘆 — it’s beautiful any time of the year, but when fall colors are out, it’s spectacular!
It’s a 55-mile-long route that provides AMAZING views of the Continental Divide with scenic yellow aspens and mountains.
There used to be many gold mines along Highways 72 and 119. The mine tailings (scrap rock from the mines that was dumped down the side of the mountain) are visible from the small town of Ward down past Blackhawk.
There are a few old mines along the way that allow the public to pan for gold in the creek. Kids love to pan for gold whether they find any or not.
