Mother Grundy is the name that sets this view apart, and the record gives few details about her beyond the title. The canyon she is set in, Clear Creek, carried the road and rail line between Golden and the mining towns of Idaho Springs and Central City after the Colorado gold strikes of 1859. Travelers, freight wagons, and miners moved through its narrow, steep walls, and roadside people and businesses often became known by nicknames like this one. Pictures from that period usually show how little room the valley floor had for both the creek and the road.
