My Germany brother aka The Evil Elf was in town for a brief visit so we took him to the Heritage Center in Cripple Creek. It is the newest museum in the county and is beautiful.
It has interactive displays of the history of the area, a wildlife display complete with dinosaurs, and a model train display that is fabulous.
We took the scenic loop to get there, by way of Hwy. 67 from Divide, through Victor and then home by way of Teller County 1.
We saw a herd, lots of animals worth, of elk at one of the ranches off of Hwy 24 between Florissant and Divide. Then we saw a group of bighorn sheep, about a dozen of them, along Hwy 67. There was all sizes from the ram just starting his horn curl to a baby one. It was really neat to see all the critters and not just the stuffed ones at the museum.
