Teller County Guide an introduction

Welcome to Teller County — where Colorado’s wide-open skies meet small-town hospitality, and every turn of the road offers a new reason to stay awhile. Nestled on the west side of Pikes Peak, Teller County is a collection of distinctive mountain communities, each with its own personality and story — including Woodland Park, Cripple Creek, Victor, Divide and Florissant and the surrounding mountain neighborhoods. Here, history isn’t something you only read about; it is something you experience in preserved mining districts, scenic byways, and the enduring spirit that helped shape the American West.

Visitors are often drawn by Teller County’s extraordinary outdoor experiences and quickly discover they are only the beginning. From hiking, wildlife viewing, and year-round recreation to iconic destinations such as Mueller State Park or Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument and our expansive public lands, the region o ers adventure for every pace and every season. You will also find experiences that are uniquely Teller County: heritage railroads and mine history, local museums and art, family attractions, and opportunities to learn about conservation up close at the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center.

Teller County needs a few good employees

BY WILLIAM J. DAGENDESH

Teller County invests in its workforce, provides solid benefits and opportunities for meaningful service, and attracts the enthusiastic prospective employee.

SSR Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mine

The Cripple Creek and Victor district began with the Colorado gold rush (Pikes Peak or Bust) in the late 1890s and remains one of the most famous gold camps anywhere. It is different from the other districts in that it has ore deposits associated with an

extinct Miocene age (23-5 million years ago) volcano and a large output of gold-telluride ores.

Purchased by SSR Mining from the Newmont Corporation, this active gold mine is located near the town of Victor. More than 23 million ounces of gold have been recovered from the district since the mines’ discovery in 1890. It is Colorado’s richest gold mine and the last producer of gold in the state. The mine has a visitor center with historical photos and mineral use displays. In his Tripadvisor review, Colorado Springs resident Gary E. wrote, “Take some time to stop here and learn about the history of Cripple Creek and gold mines. You will be impressed with the view alone.” Address 1632 Co Rd., 82, Cripple Creek. Phone: 719-851-4127.
