We have been coming here for five years as a couple, and I came as a solo traveler for two years before that. Spring Gathering is a chance to connect with other artists while focusing on your own project for an uninterrupted week. I’m a quilter; he’s a writer. We LOVE it here! It’s not for the luxury seeker, nor for the fussy. It’s for people who want to connect with their thoughts in the loveliest mountain surroundings imaginable.

We had stopped at other "Gem Mines" and all they wanted was for you to buy a bucket and pan for your valuable rocks. This place was more than that and offered a real glimpse into the past and the mining industry. We were so happy we followed the signs to get here. It's off the beaten path a bit but don't worry, you'll be rewarded. The museum and the grounds are well worth the price of admission.
