The $71 million Mighty Argo Cable Car in Idaho Springs is nearing its opening, with final inspections and expected to open by the end of the month. The gondola, which stretches more than a mile up the canyon, will offer scenic rides, mountain biking access and a modern take on Colorado's mining history. The project is designed to be family-friendly and dog-friendly, adding to its appeal as a day-trip destination for locals and tourists. It is built alongside the Argo Tunnel, which dates back to 1893 and played a significant role in Colorado's early mining industry. The site also includes an amphitheater designed for concerts, weddings and corporate events.
