Houses stand along three main dirt roads in Gold Hill, a mining district about 12 miles northwest of Boulder in Boulder County, Colorado. Gold Hill was one of the first gold mining camps in Boulder County. By the 1950s, it was used mostly as a summer resort. The snow-capped peaks of the Continental Divide stand in the distance. A car is on the dirt road in the left foreground.
