Take a leisurely stroll back into Idaho Springs' gold rush past on the Charlie Taylor Water Wheel Trail. This short, paved path is perfect for all ages and follows the scenic Clear Creek for a glimpse of local history. The trail leads you right to the impressive, historic water wheel and the lovely Bridal Veil Falls right behind it, offering a perfect photo opportunity. It's an easy and accessible walk, starting from Harold A. Anderson Park downtown, taking you under the highway for a rewarding view.
