Show Notes
Idaho Springs Mighty Argo Cable Car: A New Era of Tourism - The Mighty Argo Cable Car in Idaho Springs, Colorado, is set to revolutionize tourism with its 1.3-mile, 1,300-foot climb from the historic Argo Gold Mine to a mountaintop hub. This hub boasts bars, restaurants, a playground, an amphitheater, and access to hiking and biking trails. The project, backed by local businesswoman Mary Jane Loevlie and the late Dana Crawford, features 22 cabins, including glass-floored ones and the countrys first bike-only cars. Despite a $4.5 million embezzlement hit, the project remains on track to revive the areas economy. Final builder tests are scheduled for April 8th, with a potential late April opening offering ten-minute trips to stunning Continental Divide views and access to four nearby fourteeners.
