Trail Creek Area Mining Claims

The Trail Creek Area Mining Claims just outside the Rocky Mountain Gateway town of Idaho Springs, Colorado are a collection of 7 individual claims totaling 32.042 acres; with two single parcel offerings (5 ac & 5.16 ac) and the remaining 5 contiguous claims offered together at 21.882 acres. For 3 generations the ownership family has enjoyed these lands as a place to retreat, camp and recreate; from the lovely trickling stream of Trail Creek upon the Rustler MS parcel to the expansive rocky mountain views offered from the middle clustered parcels and the high vantage point of the Maximum parcel. With the lower parcel located within 1/2 mile of the county maintained secondary roadway of Trail Creek Rd (road base), the parcels are then interconnected via a web of forest/county 4WD roads and tracks. A 4X4 enthusiasts dream; the network connects through to a myriad of rural mountain destinations including the old Lamartine townsite, Chicago, Ute & Cascade Creeks, Woodchuck Peak, Griffith Mountain, and the Saxon Mountain Road leading to Georgetown. The 5 acre Rustler MS parcel lies at the end of Trail Creek Road from about .3 mile to .6 mile from the end of the county maintained portion. The Creek traverses the entire length of the property with cascading falls and pools within the densely forested landscape and a 2 track path also runs the length with access from the upper west end where Trail Creek Rd transitions to a Forest Service Rd. The neighboring parcel to the south is owned by Clear Creek County providing an added layer of privacy from other landowners. The 5.16 acre “Maximum” parcel lies mostly below Lamertine Road nearly a mile from where it begins off of Spring Creek Road. It is a narrow strip of land like so many of the mine claims historically are; with the upper region near the road setting at around 10,500 feet in elevation and boasting expansive views of the vast mountain and peak landscapes in the distance.
