Colorado Springs Daily Photo: Phantom Canyon Road (Part 1)

Welcome to Colorado Springs Daily Photo!

Hi, I'm Tamera, a professional wedding, portrait and boudoir photographer in Colorado Springs. But this blog isn't about my professional work; no, it's a daily love note to my beautiful city, where I've lived for most of my life. I love it here and I hope you enjoy seeing Colorado Springs through my eyes and lens!

Phantom Canyon Road (Part 1)

Pat and I took a drive down this scenic byway on July 29th, and I took a lot of pictures so I'll spread them out over several posts. Part of Colorado's Gold Belt Tour, this historic road follows a gold mining era railroad route between roughly Cañon City and Cripple Creek/Victor. We don't have a four wheel drive and did just fine, just be advised that it'll take you a while to get from one end of Phantom Canyon Road to the other; it's not a short drive but it's VERY scenic. There are a few old tunnels and bridges -- not to mention jaw dropping views -- that are worth getting out of the car for. Bring a camera!
