Overview

Gold Camp Road is a gateway to a diverse array of off-roading adventures set against the picturesque backdrop of Pike National Forest. This historic route, once the "Short Line" railroad connecting Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek, now serves as a scenic thoroughfare to multiple renowned trails in the area. From this main artery, adventurers can access trails like Eagle Rock, Saran Wrap, Frosty Park (also known as Mount Baldy), and Mt. Rosa Road, each offering unique challenges and stunning views.

Gold Camp Road enhances the journey—like the dramatic St. Peter's Dome and the Cathedral Park area, known for its striking sandstone spires carved during the railroad's construction. Driving through the historic Tunnel #9 provides a tangible connection to Colorado's gold rush era. Whether seeking a leisurely scenic drive or a series of off-roading challenges, Gold Camp Road offers a versatile base for exploring the rich landscapes and history of the region.
