HUGE news for Idaho Springs this summer… the Argo Gondola is opening SOOOOON! 🚡✨

And it’s right across the street from us 🙌

Between scenic rides up the mountain, epic views, mountain biking, hiking, great food, and small-town charm—this summer is shaping up to be one of the best yet.

Heads up: once the gondola opens, things are going to book up FAST.
If Idaho Springs is on your list, now’s the time to lock in your stay before waitlists start rolling in. Visit us at www.UpliftInn.com to reserve your space.

See you this summer, friends! 🌞

🚨 Spotted: Raft guides in their natural habitat! 🚣‍♂️💦

Across the street from Uplift Inn, Clear Creek is already churning with action as guides gear up for a wild summer on the water. That can only mean one thing... OUR SEASON IS ALMOST HERE! 🎉

We've crawled out from hibernation and are reopening Memorial Day Weekend- we couldn't be more stoked! Whether you're chasing rapids or just soaking up the mountain air, your adventure basecamp awaits. 🌲🛏️

📅 Book now before the river — and our rooms — are fully booked! www.UPLIFTINN.COM (if sold out, visit our sister motel www.liftlanding.com)

Tired of cramped motel rooms? Fear not! Behold Suite 7, the **epitome of luxury** (or at least that’s what we tell ourselves). This suite features two king beds, one of which is in its own private room - feel free to stick your mother-in-law in there. There is also a queen sleeper sofa for those moments when you need a place to binge-watch Netflix. Suite 7 also features a bathroom so spacious you might just need a map and a compass to find your way out. It’s the perfect place for those who enjoy a good echo while singing in the shower. Last, and maybe least, indulge in the subtle opulence of a large balcony that so confidently eschews the mainstream ‘room with a view’ trope, it could win an award for ‘Most Unassumingly Chic Spot to Do Absolutely Nothing.’

We’re incredibly honored that Drop Shaft has been awarded Best New Flow/Jump Trail of 2024 by Singletracks.com - Mountain Bike Trails & Reviews!

Since its opening in late September, this trail has quickly become a favorite among front-range riders, and we couldn’t be more thrilled by the community’s overwhelming response.

A massive thank you goes to FlowRide Concepts and McGill Trail Fabrication Ltd for their exceptional craftsmanship and dedication. This mighty trail, along with the entire network, wouldn’t have been possible without the vision and hard work of our incredible partners.

We’re super excited for the future as we continue working in Idaho Springs!

Seasons change, and so do we! Every autumn we close down our boutique motel in order to support a major local employer to provide (critical) seasonal employee housing.
We’ll reopen for nightly stays late May for what we predict to be our most exciting season ever. Idaho Springs is buzzing with killer new mountain bike trails, outdoor adventures, and more.
*And since we’re directly across from the Virginia Canyon Mtn Park System, we’ll be working on ways to swoon our MTB guests- stay tuned for more!*🚲💖🚲

Book early to avoid the wait list : www.UpliftInn.com

Check out this article from The Gazette that recently featured the opening of Trek Trails at Virginia Canyon Mountain Park.

We've been thrilled by all the positive comments and feedback since opening the system, and we're more motivated than ever to continue searching for additional funding to build even more trails in the park.
