The Cripple Creek Donkeys can be found free roaming the city streets from mid-May through mid-October. The herd is cared for by the The Two Mile High Club. The Club is made up of volunteers and all the care costs of the herd are donation based only.
From mid-October through mid-May, you can find the herd in the winter pasture located off C street and Thurlow. We encourage you to only feed our donkeys approved “donkey biscuits” which can be found at local museums, shops and at the feeding platform located at their winter pasture.
PLEASE, NO PEOPLE FOOD OR JUNK FOOD. Please support our “Healthy Herd” campaign in partnership with their new vet. Healthy biscuits are available at the Jail Museum, Heritage Center, Aspen Mine Center, Rocky Mountain Canary General Store, Double Eagle Casino, The District Museum Gift Shop, Historic Train Car, Maudie’s Emporium, Winter Pasture (next to Mountain View Adventure Park) and the Cripple Creek Hospitality House.
Visitors come from all over the country to visit our donkeys. If you are interested in supporting the Two Mile High Club with care costs, please see Cripple Creek Donkeys website for donation options.
