Must do's in Colorado

[TerryMiller]

Thanks for the directions. We'll be moving in our RV to the Colorado Springs are in mid July to live near the wife's sisters and other family. I'll have to wait until I get acclimated to the altitude before I attempt that hike, but it looks like a good one to do. Yes, we saw the dinosaur tracks, if you are talking about the ones that a person can see from underneath them. Here are some photos that I took of those on the Skyline Drive.

Incidentally, if anyone else is interested in the Skyline Drive, it is located just off of Highway 50 west of Canon City. I'm thinking that the turnoff is right near some kind of roadside business there, perhaps a rafting business. And yes, rafting on the river there is cool. Last photo is of some of our family rafting. Guess I need to try that sometime myself.

Phantom Canyon Road is dirt/gravel that goes into Victor from the East. Shelf Road would bring one in West of Victor between Victor and Cripple Creek, closer to Cripple Creek.

If it was me I'd celebrate the trip by smoking a dooby or eating an enhanced brownie.

First one might be OK, the second one might get you on the registered sex offender list.

The second is what got me kicked out of Boy Scouts.

Then I went down phantom canyon road. It goes into victor from the east and kinda goes behind cheyenne mountain somewhat.
