Beaver Creek Wilderness
The 27,000-acre Beaver Creek Wilderness Study Area along Phantom Canyon Road offers miles of hiking trails through pristine backcountry. The area provides habitat for elk, black bears, and marmots, along with excellent trout fishing in Beaver Creek.
The Marshal's Gun Fundraiser
Cripple Creek's marshal met arriving stagecoaches and confiscated visitors' firearms to keep the peace. He periodically sold the confiscated guns in Denver and used the proceeds to pay schoolteachers' salaries—an unconventional but effective fundraising method.
