Description
Wall painted in Victor, Colorado
Victor, Colorado - the City of Gold Mines - is located at nearly 10,000 feet on the southwest side of Pikes Peak, in the Cripple Creek Victor Mining District. This well-preserved mining town sits on the side of Battle Mtn., a unique setting of 1890's structures and turn-of-the-century architecture, with clean, cool mountain air and plenty of year-round sunshine.
The streets of Victor were paved with gold during the hey day of the 1890's gold rush. Today the streets are lined with a wealth of history as century-plus-old buildings stand as legacy to the hustle and bustle of previous times. Today's Victor is quiet, offering an authentic 1890's mining town get-away. The downtown is undergoing a rejuvenation with new sidewalks, sprucing up of the facades and newly paved streets.
