Zebulon Pike reported gold in Colorado in present day Park County, Colorado as early as 1807, but it wasnt until rich discoveries near Denver in 1858 that sparked the Pikes Peak Gold Rush. Since then, gold mining has been a major industry in Colorado, with significant lode and placer discoveries throughout the state. Over 1 million ounces of gold has come out of Summit County in central Colorado, both as lode and placer deposits.
When spring finally arrived, hundreds of wagons and families headed west in a race to the gold. A few men braved the mountain snows before spring to arrive in Colorado and organized towns that became Denver and Boulder. They waited for the snows to melt before trekking into the wilderness to start gold mining.
