Description
The "Idaho Springs" Water wheel was built in 1893 by gold miner Charlie Tayler. Charlie was a local character who attributed his longevity to never having bathed or kissed a woman. (Directly proportional, I think...)
Charlie's water wheel was moved from its original site at a 19th century gold mine to its present location along I-70 in 1948. The wheel was restored in 1988.
Charlie Tayler's Water Wheel is located at the base of Bridal Veil Falls, on the south side of I-70 as you pass through Idaho Springs west of Denver, Colorado. Unless you're a local, you probably think of it as the "Idaho Springs Water Wheel." Close up viewing can be accessed from the parking lot behind Idaho Springs City Hall, 17th Avenue and Miner Street, or down the bike path from the Clear Creek Ranger Station.
