Red Rock Canyon Open Space

Highlight • Natural Monument

These rock formations are a direct geological extension of the site of the Garden of the Gods located a little further north. They are certainly less frequented, because less known but just as beautiful.

Bear Creek

Highlight • River

Bear Creek is a beautiful creek and home to the only remaining genetically pure, self-sustaining population of greenback cutthroat trout, which is the state fish of Colorado.

View of the Broadmoor Hotel and Will Rogers Shrine from Gold Camp Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Gold Camp Road after the gate is primarily hard packed dirt. This route is ideal on a gravel bike, but a road bike would be fine too. Ideally you would take Gold Camp Road up and Cheyenne Canyon Road down since that portion is paved. There are great views of the Broadmoor Hotel down below, and the Will Rogers Shrine up above.
