Overview

Have you ever wondered what the city of Colorado Springs looks like from a thousand feet above? The Pikes Peak Bike Tours team will take your breath away by first transporting you up the historic and scenic Old Stage Road. From there, a gorgeous scenic bike ride will take you down Gold Camp Road. Locomotives once transported raw gold from Cripple Creek gold mine to a Colorado Springs gold refinery on this historic path. This experience offers vast panoramic views of the front range at a ride at your own pace speed. The tour is approximately 13 miles long with minimal exertion. Gold Camp Road is a leisurely descent at a 2% grade on gravel terrain with minimal obstacles and incredible tunnels blown by dynamite dating back to the late 1800s. Experience the beauty of Colorado in its entirety as you peer into the distance breathing in the crisp mountain air. Duration is expected to last 3 to 3 1/2 hours depending on the riders.

    Upper Gold Camp Road (pass by)

    The Gold Camp Road Tunnels were constructed during the 1800s to help support the ongoing Pike’s Peak Gold Rush. Connecting Cripple Creek and Colorado Springs, a railway was laid down on the route that is now Gold Camp Road. Known as the “Short Line,” train service began in 1901, with 200 freight cars used to haul minerals, supplies, and people throughout the area.The supposed haunting of the Gold Camp Road Tunnels has beckoned the curious to investigate for decades, with many urban myths surrounding the “abandoned” looking tunnels. Perhaps the best-known myth about the area relates to the 1988 tunnel collapse and claims that a bus full of school children became stuck and killed during the accident.While there is no record of such an incident occurring, some visitors of the Gold Camp Road Tunnels have claimed to have left the area with tiny handprints on their cars from the spirits of the deceased.
