More about the Argo Millcloser than you think
Just 30 miles west of Denver, the Mighty Argo Experience encompasses over 500 acres of rugged and historic Colorado landscapes. The iconic Argo Mill & Tunnel anchors the site, within easy walking (or driving) distance from Historic Miner Street in Idaho Springs.
Above the Mill, city-owned Virginia Canyon Mountain Park commands sunny slopes and world-class mountain biking and hiking trails. Capping the site is the newly-opened Miners Point, featuring stunning views on the dramatic Overlook; food, drink and entertainment at the Argo Outpost; access to the trail systems below; and Colorado mountain vibes for days.
The Mighty Argo Cable Car links these elements with a state-of-the-art Doppelmayr gondola, resulting in a heritage and outdoor experience like no other. We can’t wait to share it with you – book now!

Everything new clean and very nice staff 👍 but the food and drinks is very overpriced!
Great views from the cable car. Going up the mountain and also on the trip back down.
Beautiful scenery
Go enjoy
We started with the tour of the mining tunnel. Our guide Willow was terrific- super informative. Had fun panning for gold too. The gondola ride was absolutely perfect! The views were incredible. Got to the top and were so excited to try the food and sit out in the open and looking out over the mountains. We opted to go in to town to eat as the bartender was so rude. He was the only blight on an otherwise perfect day
Loved the experience. I did the packe with mine tour very interesting info on mining. The gondola ride was spectacular I rode twice. The view at the top was mesmerizing. Will do again
Interesting mine tour
The views from the Gondola and the Argo Outpost at the top are incredible. In my 10 years of living in Colorado and driving past Idaho Springs every winter to ski I have never seen the town from this perspective. I will definitely be taking friends that visit me back to the Mighty Argo Cable Car!
Beautiful views. Saturday afternoon live music with tasty drinks. Loved the vibe. Proud that this is in out back yard!
A hidden gem! There's a bar at the top and views are great. Ride up was also very smooth!
Great way to view the hills surrounding Idaho Springs!! With places to sit and a great overlook area I would definitely visit again!
