Mighty Argo Cable Car

Virginia Canyon Mountain Park (VCMP)

Coming Soon! The Mighty Argo Cable Car Company, LLC (“ARGO”) has contracted with Leitner Poma of America (LPOA) to construct the Mighty Argo Cable Car (MACC) adjacent to the historic Argo Mill and Tunnel in Idaho Springs, Colorado. The MACC will travel 1.2 miles up Rosa Gulch, climbing 1300’ on the 10 minute ride. The mountain top Argo Landing will feature pedestrian plazas, viewing decks, an observation trestle, creative food and beverage options, an amphitheater and a facility that will be used for weddings, receptions, retreats and kids camps. A nature trail will traverse the mountain and lead to picnic areas with scenic views of four fourteeners. www.mightyargo.com

Now Open! The first hiking trail (red alignment) is open. The trail is four (4) miles one-way, providing magnificent views of Idaho Springs and nearby mountain peaks. Currently this trail is only for hiking use. Mountain biking will be permitted in the future as additional trails are constructed. Base access from the Argo Mill and Tunnel and from the Greenway Trail that traverses Idaho Springs. Please remember to follow all parking and trail signs.

Virginia Canyon Mountain Park will include phase openings of the trail network and feature bike-only trails, hike-only trails, uphill and downhill bike trails with difficulty ranging from easy to advanced along the alignment of the upcoming Mighty Argo Cable Car. www.comba.org/virginiacanyon
