Like Drivelapse? Friend it:
This drive follows the little-known, and certainly underappreciated, Colorado River Road, which runs alongside the Colorado River between Dotsero (I-70) and McCoy, Colorado. Enjoy my encounter with a train, on the tracks that parallel the dirt portion of this road.

Una de las Grieta más profundas en Colorado, la Grieta real es aproximadamente 10 millas de largo con el río Arkansas que lo atraviesa con paredes de granito que se elevan sobre los 1.000 pies. La Grieta fue creado hace unos tres millones de años, cuando un hilo de agua comenzó a tallar lentamente un cañón en la roca de granito sólido en primer lugar. Ese hilo es ahora la rabia Arkansas, uno de los ríos más largos de América. El río Arkansas sigue tallar toda su profundidad, a una velocidad de alrededor de un pie cada 2.500 años.
La Grieta real se considera una maravilla del mundo, con sus raras formaciones de granito rojo y ha sido referido como el Gran Cañón del Arkansas por los primeros exploradores de América. La anchura en la parte inferior de la Grieta es no más de 40 a 50 pies.
One of the deepest cracks in Colorado, the actual crack is about 10 miles long with the Arkansas river running through it with granite walls that rise above 1,000 feet. Crack was created about three million years ago when a trickle of water began to slowly carve a canyon in the granite rock solid first. That thread is now the rage Arkansas, one of the longest rivers in America. The Arkansas River continues to carve all its depth, at a rate of about a foot every 2,500 years.
The actual crack is considered a wonder of the world, with its rare red granite formations and has been referred to as the Grand Canyon of Arkansas by early explorers of America. The width at the bottom of the crack is not more than 40 to 50 feet

Old Stage Road & Gold Camp Road In Colorado - September 16, 2018
Time lapse of twenty two mile drive from Colorado Springs to Victor, seven miles on Old Stage Road and the remainder on Gold Camp Road. This was a rail line (built in 1900 and known as the Short Line) for carrying ore down to the mills from the Cripple Creek Mining District. It became a toll road (known as the Corley Mountain Highway) in the 1920s, then was taken over by the US Forest Service in 1939 when they provided the current appellation. It is also known as Forest Service Road 368. Notice the narrow rock cuts and the tunnel made for the train. Aspen trees are showing their September color.

Red Canyon ♫
10 miles from Canon City, CO. Very similar to Garden of the Gods, but is not a tourist stop since its undeveloped. Dinosaur eggs and tracks found in the area, so folks are asked to leave behind and fossils or petrified wood they find. This is the private property of the people of Canon City, so check the rules before selecting a campsite.
The Famous Shelf Road between Cripple Creek and Canon City in Colorado
On a recent weekend trip to Colorado, we used our Garmin GPS to get from Cripple Creek to Canon City. The route took us over (what we found out later) was the famed Shelf Road. This road was built in the 1890's to accommodate stagecoaches. One lane, narrow, with a nice 300 foot drop off the side!

Description
Driving across the (empty!) Royal Gorge Bridge near Canyon City Colorado
Since it was an off-season *brutally bitter cold* day and the bridge was empty, I took advantage of the lack of pedestrians or other vehicles to make a video crossing the bridge. The speed limit is 10 mph, but really should be 5 which is a safe crawl and what I did to make the video and the prior crossing. On my first crossing I went up to 10 mph for a second and truly cannot believe that they even allow or would want anyone going that fast on a bridge built in 1929!! Even at 5 mph the wood decking (which I didn't know about until my first crossing before the video!!) moves up and down excessively as it seems to be quite loose!! Luckily for me there was no wind and the bridge was still and my underwear escaped unscathed!! Going to this park isn't really a big deal (especially with so much else to see in Colorado) but I was in the area and figured I might as well get it off my list of things to see and do and the record cold snap presented the otherwise nonexistent opportunity to make a video without any other vehicles there or people walking the bridge :)
