I finally stopped by for the tour after years of driving past Idaho Springs. Brooks, our tour guide was very charismatic and knowledgeable, providing an interesting summary of the site's history. My friends and I also really enjoyed the gold panning activity included at the end of the tour. As a bonus, we saw some large bighorn rams!
