Note: My scanner is very sensitive to red. Many of these photos
look redder than either the original photos or the actual scenery.
| View of Cripple Creek from the mountain pass on Highway 67. |  |
| Another view of Cripple Creek from off to the left of the picture above. Taken from the train. |  |
| View of Bennett Avenue, the main street in town, from the hilly end of the street. At the far end you can see the Cripple Creek District Museum. |  |
| The Cripple Creek District Museum. It used to be a train station, with living quarters on the third floor. A wonderful building with a unique twisting railing going up the main spiral staircase. The actual building is browner than this photo shows. |  |
| View of Bennet Avenue from the second floor of the District Museum. At the other end of the street is the spot from which I took the photo from the hill. |  |
| The visitors' center in town is a refurbished train passenger coach. It stands between the museum and the train station. |  |
| Train station of the Cripple Creek and Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad. |  |
| One of the locomotives. |  |
| The inside of the locomotive. |  |
| The engineer and tour guide for the train ride. He kept up a narrative on a public address system. Funny guy. |  |
| Blacksmith shop from the old gold rush days. In those days the hills were covered with mines and miners' shacks. |  |
| Another of the locomotives. |  |
| A mansion in town. The other side also had wonderful porches and railings and unique structures. The color in the photo is realistic- pinkish. |  |
| Victor, Colorado, another old mining town near Cripple Creek. Hence the name of the railroad. |  |
| The main intersection in Victor. |  |
| Mountains near Cripple Creek, on Highway 67 going north from the town. |  |
