"A hillside speckled with mining claims and the historic Argo Mill set the stage for what is bound to be one of the most exciting draws for recreational tourism in Idaho Springs, Colorado. The Mighty Argo, slated to open in the spring of 2026, is building a state-of-the-art cable car with bike cab gondolas that shuttle you directly to delicious food, an amphitheater, and much more."
"The Argo Mill has been around since 1893, and the mining claims found throughout the hills have moved trillions of dollars' worth of gold (in today's money) through the mill. The recent push to build a gondola and improve infrastructure for recreational tourism in Idaho Springs is the perfect recipe that will make this a must-visit destination for mountain bikers and all lovers of the outdoors, good food, history, and live music."
The Mighty Argo project will build a state-of-the-art cable car with bike cab gondolas to shuttle visitors to food venues, an amphitheater, and trailheads. The project carries a $71 million budget and is slated to open in spring 2026. The Argo Mill dates to 1893, and surrounding mining claims historically processed trillions of dollars' worth of gold in today's money. Infrastructure improvements aim to position Idaho Springs as a must-visit destination for mountain bikers, outdoor enthusiasts, food lovers, history buffs, and live-music audiences. Idaho Springs sits about 30 minutes from Denver and roughly an hour from Boulder. Community collaboration underpins the project's vision and development.
