Summit County is home to some of the country's largest and most famous gold and silver mines. Bike, hike, snowshoe or back country ski into the Peru Creek area and you'll discover the remnants of the area's smaller mines.

Or, you can venture into a real restored mining site! Country Boy Mines offers a guided adventure over 1,000 feet into the century-old, authentic gold mine. You'll get to wear a hard hat, hear the drills and learn about Colorado's mining history.

Country Boy also offers gold panning in the Eureka Creek during the summer, and inside by a cozy stove during the winter. The best part is that you get to take your riches home with you!
