Old Hundred Gold Mine Tour
721 County Road 4-A
Silverton, Colorado
(970) 387-5444
Located 0 miles from Molas Lake Park and Campground

The underground world of the hard rock miner is rarely seen by “outsiders.” Now you, too, can go “on shift” and see the earth from the inside out. A one hour guided tour takes you 1/3 mile into Galena Mountain where you follow the vein and learn how mining was done. At The Old Hundred ™ you get to see and experience actual operating mining equipment in a real mine setting. Outside, the awesome scenery is worth the visit. Located in Cunningham Gulch just minutes from historic Silverton and easily accessible by car or RV, wildlife and natural wonders abound. Beaver and brook trout can be seen in the ponds below the mine, and elk, deer, and bear are sometimes seen. Spectacular waterfalls cascade down the cliffs from the alpine basins above you. In mid­summer wildflowers dot the slopes and in fall the hills turn “gold” with the brilliant aspen trees.

Experience the secret world of the underground gold miner as you tour the Old Hundred, a mine that operated from 1904 until the 1970s. Put on a yellow rain slicker and hard hat before boarding a rail car that will take you 1500 feet underground into the actual mining operation. You’ll see what it was like to go underground in search of the elusive treasure. The old mining equipment is still in place, awaiting another opportunity to strike it rich.
