ウェットマウンテンズのおすすめツーリングルート

The Arkansas River Trail is a 5.6 mile loop on both sides of the Arkansas River. The trail is paved and mostly flat, so it is not a challenging trail. There are great views of the river for most of the trail.

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.

There is a spectacular view of Spiney Ridge as you descend down Shelf Road. It is a popular place for climbing and really takes your breath away when it comes into view.

Known in the late 19th century as 'the world's greatest gold camp', Cripple Creek sprang to life when gold was discovered here in 1890. At its height, it was home to over 500 mines. It is now famous for its both historic and new casinos. You'll find plenty of places to eat, drink and stay in the city.

Known at 'The City of Mines, gold was first discovered in Victor in 1891. It is worth visiting for a taste of life in the gold rush. Even cycling through you can see many 'gallows frames' on the hillside. Officially called headframes, they were used to hoist things out of the mine.

Beautiful, easy and flat walk along the Arkansas River. The trail starts in downtown Cañon City, but has peaceful areas to chill, with some benches and picnic tables.

The Phantom Canon Road is an unpaved legendary road that leads from Victor directly down to Canon City for about 50km. Perfect for a mountain bike tour. Traffic is moderate. You should take enough provisions with you, as there are no rest stops along the way and mobile phone reception also breaks down from time to time.
