Passing would be pretty tight. Fortunately most of the traffic moves in one direction because the scenery is better on the way up.

Nice Vid. Where did you start and end? That appears to be a great little trip that my pregnant wife could handle and enjoy.

I went with a friend from work who has a Jeep. He had his wife and son with him. We started by Canon City headed north on Shelf rd, ate lunch in Cripple Creek, took Gold Camp rd. back to the Springs. Left at 10 AM, back at 3 PM.

Cool, so you brought Gold Camp Road from Hwy 67, all the way into he 'Springs? How was the Cripple Creek side of that road? That's where my concern lies, but if you went from Canyon City to springs via Shelf Rd and Gold cam in 5hrs including lunch, then I guess it wasn't bad at all.

Well I saw a Ford Mustang on the top end of Gold Camp road near 67/81 that had come UP from the Srings. Sooooo... if a RWD sports car can make it from the Springs to Victor.

LOL, yeah true that! Although I am surprised, as there are some cuts in the hills up there that never melt and could give a low clearance 2WD vehicle some trouble.
