Overview:
The Cripple Creek Gold Rush was a period of gold production in the Cripple Creek area from the late 1800s until the early 1900s.

Many fortunate people back in the late 1800s struck it rich finding bountiful deposits of gold in Cripple Creek and were it not for the lure of gold and the hopes of striking it rich, this part of Colorado may never have become as developed as it did back then.

There was almost no gold production in the Cripple Creek district from 1963 through 1986. and over the next nine years, the district produced around a million ounces of gold, and more than 6 million ounces has been poured since 1995, bringing the total gold production in the district to more than 27 million ounces. Gold mining in Cripple Creak is supposed to end around 2027.
