Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine

About Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine

The Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine is a historic vertical shaft mine near Cripple Creek, Colorado, United States. The mine shaft descends 1,000 feet (300 m) into the mountain, a depth roughly equal to the height of the Empire State Building in New York City. The mine closed in 2024, due to the death of a tour guide. The addition of the mines and subsequent tours of this mine and others in the area had considerable effect on the economies of both Victor and Cripple Creek.
