Shelf Road is an old stage coach route that connects Canon City with Cripple Creek. It is incredibly scenic with breathtaking views at almost every corner. It's a long climb up to Cripple Creek with an elevation gain of 3000 ft, but the way back down is absolutely magic. It can be technical gravel in places.
