The Gold Camp Road was once a railway built to connect Cripple Creek with Colorado Springs during the gold rush. The gravel trail is technical in places and passes a series of tunnels that have been dug through the rock face. The historic road is also surrounded by stunning scenery, about which President Theodore Roosevelt supposedly said it 'bankrupts the English language'.
