Great place to get information, purchase flies and other fly fishing equipment, or book a trip with some of the friendliest, most knowledgeable guides on the Arkansas and South Platte Rivers. Taylor and Bill know the rivers, the seasons, and the insects. Can't go wrong with an Orvis endorsed shop.

A narrow, one way road that is not suitable for RV's or over-size vehicles and that offers three miles of thrills.

This is a great free attraction that might not be well advertised, but you don't want to miss it. We just stumbled upon it when a server told us about it. Just outside Canon City look for a sign directing you to turn right. It's a narrow one way road along the top of a mountain crest that gives you a wonderful view off both sides of the crest where you can see all of canon city on one side and the mountains on the other side. Several pull offs where you can park and get out as well as trail connections if you wanted a vigorous hike.

Visited with 2 adults and 1 child age 12. Weather was gorgeous, we got lucky. The trail is said to be "easy" and overall is... that 1st incline was harder for me, someone who is out of shape and not from Colorado. After that though it was good, nice trail to walk and we took an easy pace. Saw the 3 tunnels and at about 3/4 mile we turned around. It was very cool to see in person. Free. There was a lot of dog poop every where...shame. There is an outhouse at the start of the trail. We had fun, would highly recommend if you're looking for something easy and outside.
