Colorado’s Pikes Peak Gold Rush was an event of enormous social and cultural significance. Its effects reached far beyond the immediate area of the gold strikes, changing the basic economy and lifestyle of the entire region.When it was rumored that gold had been found near Cherry Creek, Pikes Peak became synonymous with the wild westward rush that ensued in the spring of 1859.
