This live camera looks out over Cripple Creek, a former gold mining town high in the Colorado mountains. Watch it to get a sense of the streets, the hillside setting and the changing light across the day. The page also shows local time and the current forecast, so you can plan a visit or check conditions before you travel.

A mining town in the high country

Cripple Creek sits at roughly 2,900 metres in the Front Range area of central Colorado. The town grew rapidly after gold was discovered in the 1890s and became one of the largest mining camps in the American West. Many of its historic brick buildings, saloons and wooden storefronts still stand, and the old district is now known for gaming halls and mining heritage. The surrounding landscape is rugged, with pine forests and open slopes.

What to watch and when

Depending on the view, you may see the main streets, rooftops and the wider hillside. Mountain towns at this altitude often have clear skies in the morning and afternoon clouds building later in the day, so the early hours can be calm and the afternoon more dynamic. Summer brings the most daylight, while winter views may show snow on the slopes and roofs. Check the live weather on this page before you watch.

Climate and getting there

Cripple Creek has a cool, dry, high-altitude climate with large temperature swings between day and night, even in summer. Summer is the most popular season for visiting, while winter can be cold and snowy. The town is reached by road from Colorado Springs, about 40 kilometres away. Nearby cameras on this site include Manitou Springs and the Pikes Peak cog railway, which show the wider region.
