About this item

Updated for 2026! Travel guide book inspired by the gold prospecting origin of Colorado. Includes touring information on all the major towns founded as gold mining camps as well as a summary of each town's origin story. Includes reviews and recommendations on historic districts to visit, mines to tour, driving tours of ghost towns and places to gold pan throughout each region. Information on 16 historic districts, 31 museums, 18 mines, 186 public access gold panning sites across the state of Colorado. Thoroughly researched to confirm public access to the panning sites (no private property or areas subject to mining claim has been included - unlike other books.) Written by a long-time Colorado resident and gold prospector. Based on years of research and field work. Get your share of the gold by prospecting for it in historic, urban, and remote locations across the gold districts of Colorado. This is Volume 1 in the series, be sure to also check out Volume 2 for even more prospecting sites! Between the two books there are over 450 sites across Colorado! This incredibly durable hard cover edition is my favorite version of the book. It’ll take getting tossed in your truck and come back for more. I love it and am so thrilled hard cover is now available!
