Keep in mind this is not a high end, big budget affair. But for the size of the town, they have done a great job with this museum. It's all underground and a great way to stay cool if it gets hot. More

We were enthralled by the little town of Creede! Amazing area to experience. We took the mining museum tour -- the hostess was a charmer! We got the tape-guided tour and it worked like magic! The tour is excellent and lets the tourists see what it was like to be a miner...down to the 'honey pot' and explosives! Very carefully... More

We found this to be a fascinating experience. The museum itself is carved out of the side of the mountain and its building alone is quite a story. The presentations are very well done and the price ($7 per, $6 over 60) is very reasonable. Plus there were miners hanging around who could tell you first hand what it was... More

Wonderful drive around Bachelors' Loop near Creede takes you from one miner's site to another. History stands still as you look at the ruins left by miners decades ago. Many steep inclines and declines require a automobile in good condition. Although ruins are private property, views from the car are well worth the drive. More

We did the tour a few years ago - the thing that stands out in my memory is the tour guide who was an experienced hard rock miner and gave us insights into what it was like to go into a mine day in and day out. The work was hard, dangerous, repetitive, and not something I could ever imagine... More
