Perched at the top, The Outpost is your mountaintop basecamp, designed for rest, refueling, and gathering. Enjoy a selection of local and in-house food and beverage offerings while taking in the views. The Outpost also serves as a unique setting for private events, providing an unforgettable backdrop for celebrations, meetings, and group gatherings.
Gold Panning
Try your hand at a true Colorado mining tradition. Our team will show you how to pan for gold and search for real gold flakes to take home as a keepsake.
This fun, hands-on experience is included with the Argo Mill Tour or can be purchased separately. Each panning experience includes real gold, making it perfect for families, kids, and anyone looking to connect with Idaho Springs’ gold rush history.
MEET ME AT THE ARGO
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!
