The Pikes Peak Bike Tours team will take your breath away by first transporting you up the historic and scenic Old Stage Road.

À quoi s'attendre

Upper Gold Camp Road

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.

Route supérieure du camp d'or

Les tunnels routiers de Gold Camp ont été construits au cours des années 1800 pour aider à soutenir la ruée vers l'or de Pike's Peak. Reliant Cripple Creek et Colorado Springs, un chemin de fer a été aménagé sur la route qui est maintenant Gold Camp Road. Connu sous le nom de "Short Line", le service ferroviaire a commencé en 1901, avec 200 wagons de marchandises utilisés pour transporter des minéraux, des fournitures et des personnes dans toute la région. La hantise supposée des tunnels routiers de Gold Camp a invité les curieux à enquêter pendant des décennies, avec de nombreux mythes urbains entourant les tunnels à l'aspect "abandonné". Le mythe le plus connu sur la région concerne peut-être l'effondrement du tunnel de 1988 et prétend qu'un bus rempli d'écoliers s'est retrouvé coincé et tué lors de l'accident. Bien qu'il n'y ait aucune trace d'un tel incident, certains visiteurs des tunnels routiers de Gold Camp ont affirmé avoir quitté la zone avec de minuscules empreintes de mains sur leurs voitures des esprits des défunts.

Amazing experience with an amazing tour guide. Tons of fun even for a beginner who has never mountain biked! The guide made us feel safe and allowed us to choose if we wanted to attempt the harder trails or not. The views were incredible and so worth it. Overall a great time and would do again/recommend to others.

Second time riding with this outfit and once again they didn't disappoint. I was a little hesitant with the terrain being dirt/sand and stones which isn't my typical paved road type of ride. Figured I give it a go since my husband likes these types of rides. So glad I did it because our guide, Mark, was so patient and made me feel at ease within a few minutes of riding. The bikes are top quality and do really well on this terrain. Mark is super knowledgeable about the area and admires/respects it. The ride is pretty much downhill the entire time, with some fun tunnels thrown in along the way. The best part for us was the peacefulness and the beauty that surrounded us throughout the tour - and of course our fun guide!
