Visited this area to check out the trails after going to Cañon city. Nothing wild, just a fun easy trail. Keep an eye out for livestock on your way in - lots of ranches in the area. I ran it in my slightly modified Subaru Outback. Overall a great place for beginners or just for fun!

I visited BLM Road 5830 with a small crew from Colorado Land Cruisers. The road is in good condition as it appears that the BLM has done some smoothing/leveling on the south end (from County Road 69 to the Colorado Chill Spot (Stone House) at Waypoint 7.

Nice little dirt road to connect up shelf road and phantom canyon while staying off pavement as much as possible. Just a decent dirt road with no issues.

Was trying Braille method to connect to Shelf Road. Found this road in error. Fun though. I will return.

Dry and dusty. This is an easy dirt road with picnic and camping opportunities until WP4, then medium washouts, small ledges and short rock gardens are scattered along the trail until the end. Only ran into a few OHV on a quiet Sunday.
