“There’s gold in them there hills” and I’m not talking about the stuff in the ground. Its in the aspen trees. The photos in this gallery were shot in and around the old gold mining towns of Cripple Creek and Victor, Colorado. Cripple Creek’s streets are now lined with casinos. Victor is a sleepy little town and the home town of adventure travel writer & broadcaster, Lowell Thomas.
