The STCFG - Hiking Trails - Historic Preservation - Community Development - And More

The STCFG has been partnering with organizations and land owners for over 20 years to promote Southern Teller County. The non-profit established the Trails of Gold hiking and biking trails which are open year-round.

Preserving historic structures has been an integral part of the STCFG's efforts.  From working with the local mining company to assisting owners of buildings in Victor with grants, the group is dedicated to showcasing and preserving through grants, education, and relocation, the structures that made Southern Teller County the World's Greatest Gold Camp.

Through events such as the Victor Gem & Mineral Show and the Victor Pack Burro Race, the STCFG works to expose the world to the special heritage we have here in Southern Teller County.

Whether you're hiker, mountain biker, history buff, rock hound, or are just looking for a unique experience in Colorado history, we invite you to visit and explore.

Notice: All trails are open with proper social distancing.
