Mostly unpaved, this road travels between Cripple Creek and Canon City and promises outstanding views.

Not for the faint of heart but my oh my the views. hard packed dirt road with rock wall one one side and a steep drop off of the other side. Narrow, at times only one car wide. If you have the nerve, it is certainly worth the drive. I never got above 10 MPH.

We got to drive on this road after church on Sunday. It was very scenic but it's very narrow, which is one of the only drawbacks. Nice to go on if you have a couple hours.

Visit our City Park or Mountain View Adventure Park. Enjoy one of the many amenities we have to offer. Choose from Disc Golf, a 2.5K Trail, Sledding Hill, Dog Park, BMX biking, skatepark, multiuse court or one of our playgrounds. Or, you can simply pack a lunch and enjoy the fresh mountain air at one of our Picnic Shelters.

This is a great place for kids to run off some energy. Picnic tables are also available. You'll also find a skate park and basketball court, too. The playground area is excellent, with soft rubber mulch and two fun areas to explore.
