I’ve been traveling to Creede for 20+ years and this is one of my favorite spots each year! The drive up is so beautiful and you pass several old mines. The gift shop and museum are on the side of the mountain which is cool. I will be back for a tour next year!

What an amazing place to visit. Everyone is so nice and there is an abundance to see and learn. We had John as our guide for the 45 minute mine tour. So super informative and easy for all abilities to do. We were super impressed with the entire site. I bought earrings and a necklace that were gorgeous as well. Here I am the following day wanting to go back. So I am editing my review. This was seriously such a neat place. We drove almost 2 hours to get here from our Airbnb and it was worth it in every way. I honestly am contemplating going back today and spending the entire day. Such a great experience.

Everyone please ignore the couple of wet towels that left poor reviews for this place, they very far removed from reality. 8-22-2024 We were greeted by River when we got onto the property and he helped get us parked which was super helpful since the lot is tight and we drive a big van and he gave us a quick rundown on the place. 2 awesome little museums that are chocked full of old school items from clothing to cooking to mining to household goods you name it. The collection beneath the gift shop is truly incredible we spent about 40 minutes just looking at everything down there. We signed up for a 45 minute tour that was $15 a person (dog friendly which is awesome) and it was well worth the money. River ended up being our tour guide and he did an excellent job at presenting information and answering questions that the group of 13 people had. Post tour we went over to the rockhound area and busted open some rocks for an hour or so and visited the second museum. We stopped by the gift shop and the young lady working the counter was super nice (we didn’t get her name unfortunately) and cool to talk to. Just as we were about to leave we got to have a quick chat with Jack, the owner, who is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about giving people a one of a kind experience. We spent about 4 hours total here and it was truly so much fun. There was some mention of there being new tours being added on top of the already existing ones so repeat visits are certainly possible. River said it’s possible one of the new tours will be an old timer style and instead of the lights you will be guided by oil lamp (if I understood him correctly) which is one I would definitely come back for. Come out and support these guys as it’s worth the price and a very unique experience.
