About Clear Creek County

Clear Creek County lays on the eastern slope of the Continental Divide, about 3,000 feet above Denver. Clear Creek famously held the gold flakes which first drew miners to the mountains early in 1859.

The Gold Rush prompted thousands to settle in the county, establishing picturesque towns such as Georgetown and Idaho Springs. The silver mines of Silver Plume created a booming miner’s community while Empire was picked for gold.

The county boomed throughout the 1880’s, only to mercilessly fall out of economic favor during the Great Depression. In the 1930’s the population abandoned the mine shafts, creating the ghost towns found throughout the county.

Today, Clear Creek County holds beloved destinations for Denverites looking for a weekend getaway. It is a mecca for outdoor adventure, famous for whitewater rafting tours, zip line tours, and incredible OTV and 4-wheel trails. There are world class hiking and biking trails. Loveland Ski Area attracts day skiers and Georgetown and Idaho Springs offer no shortage of historical structures, family friendly activities and great local eateries.

Information about historic Clear Creek County is available at Historic Idaho Springs and Historic Georgetown.

About Vail

Nestled within the breathtaking Eagle County, the Vail area stands as a testament to Colorado’s beauty and rich history. Beyond its world-renowned ski slopes that have earned it international acclaim, Vail holds a significant place in military history as a former training ground for the famed 10th Mountain Division during World War II. This alpine training instilled resilience and expertise in soldiers, which later contributed to the development of modern skiing techniques and the growth of the ski industry in the region.

The landscapes of the Vail area are rugged mountains, dense forests, and pristine valleys. The iconic Gore Range provides a dramatic backdrop for the town, while the sparkling waters of the Eagle River wind through the valley, offering a serene contrast to the adrenaline-pumping slopes. As the seasons shift, the Vail area transforms into a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, like hikers and mountain bikers.

With a blend of military heritage, world-class skiing, and awe-inspiring scenery, the Vail area captures the hearts of all.
