The rush to turn former mining towns into outdoor recreation hubs has come to Idaho Springs.
The City of Idaho Springs has received a $62,000 from Great Outdoors Colorado, the Denver-based organization that’s given out more than $1 billion in lottery proceeds to outdoor projects around the state.
Alan Tiefenbach, community development planner for Idaho Springs, said the funding will go toward planning 13 miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking on the northern hillside directly above the town, the Virginia Canyon Open Space.
