About your host
The Stage Stops HERE! I've roamed Boulder County and beyond for over 50 years and now with GOATS! If generations count, both Jesse and my great grandparents traveled by wagon train to Colorado! I've written about old mining sites and brothels and located several while combing the miners' trails on Arkansas Mountain.

Where you'll be
We hike the old Arkansas Mountain mining trails 20 minutes west of Boulder. Starting at an 1860's homestead, we tour the property then hit the trail. Stops along the way reveal the lives of the '59ers; mines, school, miner tunnels and more. This is a singular opportunity to walk western history into sites unknown to the general public. Retracing & telling their story is the wellspring to the awareness that we share their human experience.
